Bakers record little surprise in 4-Mile Classic
By Paul Glover - Guard Sports Editor
Husband and wife Brian Baker and Laura baker won overall championships of the HEALTHSOUTH 4-Mile Classic road race Saturday morning, and both set course records....Surprise, surprise... Well, maybe there's one surprise. Brian, an 8-time winner and 4-time record setter of the event, was surprised with that fourth record.
Baker crossed the finish line in 19 minutes, 32.50 seconds, two and a half seconds faster than his time in 1992. The 31-year-old former all-American runner from Batesville High and the University of Arkansas is a veteran professional runner, having competed in races around the globe the last several years.
Laura, 27 and an all-American runner from Fulton N.Y. and Cornell ...said she was pleased with her time, 23:29:30, which smashed Angie Heringer's 1992 record time by nearly 15 seconds.
How they finished (93):
