Den gamle persen var på 1.52,68 og skrev seg fra i fjor. Nå gikk det over sekundet fortere, og Hannevig Pettersen løp inn til en sjuendeplass i UCF Black and Gold Challenge i Orlando i Florida. Vinneren var ikke ukjente Duane Solomon som løp på sterke 1.46,45. Han har imidlertid så god pers som 1,42,82 - fra London-OL der han ble nummer fire. 

I TCU Invitational i Forth Nort i Texas ble Karoline Skatteboe nummer fire på 3000 meter med 9.44,08. Det er drøye 11 sekuner bak persen for jenta som løper for Tyrving når hun konkurrerer i Norge. Hun var mindre enn 3 sekunder bak vinneren, Cate Barrett.
