Heather did not qualify for the final. Her race was early this morning our time.

@heathair31’s Olympic run ends in the semifinals, but we couldn’t be more proud - UMass’ own out there with the best in the WORLD is and will always be awe inspiring

"In a crazy-stacked 1500m semifinal, it’s Nikki Hiltz (4:01.40), Sinclaire Johnson (4:01.68), Heather MacLean (4:02.09), Cory McGee (4:02.09) and Elle St. Pierre (4:02.14) cruise through to the final…"

I'll do 400M and 800M sprints at the local track and it's definitely not at her pace and I am cooked at the end. Incredible how fast she is.

3:58+ for Heather, but only good for 7th of 11 finalists. She took the lead for a bit early in the third minute but couldn't sustain it.

Tough to run your personal best but finish 7th. Was a stacked field and unfortunately she made her push a little too early but still a very impressive performance.

WICKEDLOCAL.com:

Peabody native Heather MacLean ran the fastest mile in the world this year on Sunday, clocking 4:17 for the second fastest American indoor mile of all time.

The Olympian and University of Massachusetts Amherst alum’s time is second in American history to her teammate, Vermont’s Elle St. Pierre. Both runners are on New Balance Boston, a New Balance sponsored running team based in Boston and coached by Olympian Mark Coogan.

MacLean’s time is also the fourth fastest indoor mile on the world all-time list.
