The 2018 Indoor Mile Series was another great success. We had a few records fall yet again. Allie Martin set a new Indoor Mile Series women's record in the first meet, running 4:55.64. That and another great mile in the third meet was enough to set the Series record for best-two combined times: 9:51.62. But Michelle Sikes turned in the best time of the year for women. Showing up for the first time at the last meet, she could not take the Series best-two combined, but her single mile time of 4:46.17 broke Martin's three week old record.

No men's records fell in the mile runs, though Jeff Miller smashed the men's 3K record in the last meet, running 9:28.02.

With records continually getting better, could it be that we'll see no records fall next year? Don't bet on it! The women's masters 3K record is still pretty attainable. There's a group of fast ladies who will cross into Masters territory next year. And will Michelle Sikes be back to lower her own record next year? We'll see...
