Steve, I think the question is referring to female sisters.

Re: Sisters that run?

I thought of the Press brothers and I edited the Q.

Angela and Susan Tooby

Anyone remember them? Twins and ran for Wales/GB. Both running decent times for long distances in the 15 min (5000m) and 31 minute (10,000) range.

I remember seeing one of them once and wondering whether it was Tooby or not Tooby.

Re: Sisters that run?

Susanna and Jenny Kallur, 12.67 and 12.88 in the 100h and they are definitely female sisters!!!

Re: Sisters that run?

OK stat guys, help me out, but Julie and Mary Shea. Both in top 10 all time HS for 3000 (Mary 9:13.56=3, Julie 9:15.4=6), Mary is 5th in 2M (10:03.5), 2nd in 5k (16:13.7) and 1 in 10k (32:52.5). In 1980, the two swept the Oly Trials 5k exhibition, Julie in 15:44.12, Mary in 16:07.50. In 1981, Julie finished 4th in the Boston Marathon, 2:30:54 behind Roe (2:26:46 course record), Catalano and Benoit. In 1983, Mary finished second in 2:33:23 behind Benoit's then course record of 2:22:43. Besides being named to numerous US XC and "Best Of" teams (best ACC comes to mind off hand), I think folks would be hard pressed to find a faster pair of sisters. I am sure the stat guys could research their all time placings! And remember... their times are 20-25 years old!

Always felt sorry for Angela in Seoul - she couldn't train before her heat and was forced to do pool striding. I think she had the potential to run in the 31:20 range, a great time back then.

Are the Dibabas sisters or cousins?

Re: Sisters that run?

Grazyna Rabsztyn, the WR holder at 100 hurdles (12.36) and her sister Elzbieta, world-ranked 3 times, with a PB of 12.80 (who later became Mrs. Harald Schmid)

'Angela and Susan Tooby Anyone remember them? Twins and ran for Wales/GB.'

Born and raised in England, and ran for Wales. Only in the UK could that happen.

'Susan Tooby
5000m 15:32.19 1985 maybe not PR
10,000m 32:20.95 1988 maybe not PR'

Those are Susan's PRs.
