Ethiopia's Meseret Defar, the IAAF's 2007 woman athlete of the year, established a world best in the indoor two miles Saturday at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games.
Defar, already holder of outdoor world marks at two miles and 5,000m and indoors in the 3,000m, clocked 9min 10.50sec to shatter the previous indoor world best of 9:23.38, run by American Regina Jacobs at this meeting in 2002.
Defar, the Olympic gold and World Championship medalist at 5,000m, finished ahead of New Zealand's Kim Smith (9:13.94) and Jen Rhines (9:35.29).
