Record-breaker Laura
Published: 21 February 2017
The UofG's athletics star Laura Muir was busy smashing records again at the weekend.
The UofG's Laura Muir continued her fantastic start to 2017 with another record-breaking performance in Birmingham at the weekend.
The Scottish Athlete of the Year won the 1000m at the Muller Indoor GP in Birmingham in 2.31.93 – to snatch another British Record from Dame Kelly Holmes.
It was also a European best and took her to second on the all-time World list for this distance. Holmes had run 2.32.94 in Birmingham back in February 2004. The World Record by Maria Mutola stands at 2.30.94.
It was another superb effort from veterinary student Laura, paced by Jenny Meadows, and she also went very close to the Scottish indoor 800 metres record.
Laura broke the British Record at 5000m at the GAA Miler Meet in January and then the European Record at 3000m in Germany a couple of weeks ago.
