Template:New unreviewed article Merry Lepper (born circa 1940 to 1943) is a former American long-distance runner from California who is recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations as having set a world best in the marathon on December 16, 1963 with a time of 3:37:07 at the Western Hemisphere Marathon in Culver City, California.[1][2][nb 1]
In the early 1960s, Lepper trained with Lyn Carman (also from California)[nb 2]and the pair began to run unofficially in road races.[5] At the 1963 Western Hemisphere Marathon, the two women hid along the sidelines then joined the men just after the start.[5] A race official attempted to remove them from the course and Carman reportedly yelled, "I have the right to use public streets for running!"[5][6] The women were timed by a sympathetic AAU official, and Carman eventually dropped out around the 20 mile mark.[5][nb 3]
Notes
- ^ According to the Association of Road Racing Statisticians, the course for the Western Hemisphere Marathon was short in 1962 and 1963.[3] The ARRS also notes the date of the race as December 14, 1963.[3][4]
- ^ Carman has been reported as also being in her early 20s, however, data compiled by the Association of Road Racing Statisticians indicates that she would have been 27-years-old.
- ^ Carman would eventually win the Santa Barbara Marathon in 1966, 1969, and 1970[7] and the World Masters Marathon in 1969.[7]
