Sophomore Posted PR Mark at Meet in Sweden


June 30, 2011


BERKELEY - Sophomore Sofia Oberg ran a personal-best 4:17.72 in the 1500 meters in a meet in her native Sweden Tuesday, completing the race a time that moves her up to third on Cal's all-time performers list.

At the Folksam Grand Prix in Sollentuna, Sweden, Oberg placed seventh behind winner Ekaterina Martynova of Russia, who was timed in 4:04.64

Oberg's mark bettered her previous PR of 4:19.03 set earlier in June at a meet in Bislett, Norway. Only Louise Romo, who set the school record of 4:09.29 in 1984, and Alice Trumbly, who had a best of 4:17.58 in 1980, now rate ahead of Oberg on Cal's career list in the 1500.
