Australian middle-distance runner Linden Hall (© Getty Images) Linden Hall has made her own piece of Australian athletics history, becoming the first Australian woman to run under four minutes for 1500m in Melbourne on Thursday (1). Running on her own for the last 700 metres at Melbourne’s Box Hill track, Hall kicked down from a 2:09 first 800 metres to a 3:59.67 finish. Genevieve Gregson was a distant second in 4:10.08, just ahead of Melissa Duncan’s 4:10.40, but it was the race against the clock which counted most. In winning, Hall regained the Australian record from her World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 teammate Jessica Hull, but she also beat Hull to the accolade of being the first Australian to run under four minutes.
