Two Indoor Marks Set at Meet in England

Noureddine Morceli of Algeria broke the world indoor record for 1,000 meters with a time of 2:15.26 at an international meet in Birmingham, England. He broke the record of 2:16.4, set four years ago by Rob Druppers of the Netherlands.

Liz McColgan of Scotland also set a world indoor record with a time of 15:03.17 in the 5,000, breaking the mark of 15:13.71, set by Germany’s Uta Pippig in Stuttgart on Feb. 10, 1991.

McColgan, winner of the New York City Marathon, had never run 5,000 meters indoors.
