- Adrienne_Beames abstract "Adrienne Beames (born 7 September 1942 in Victoria, Australia) is an Australian long-distance runner frequently credited as the first woman to break the 3-hour barrier in the marathon. On 31 August 1971, Beames ran a 2:46:30 in Werribee, Victoria, Australia, shattering the previous women’s world best of 3:01:42 set three months earlier by US-American Beth Bonner at the AAU Eastern Regional Championships in Philadelphia. According to some sources, this mark stood until 27 October 1974 when Chantal Langlacé ran 2:46:24 in Neuf-Brisach, France.Some sources question the validity of Beames’ run and indicate that it was Bonner who actually first broke three hours with a 2:55:22 at the New York City Marathon on 19 September 1971. In the early 1970s, women's marathoning was met with deep hostility; the 1500 meters was the longest track event officially recognized for women. When Beames' attempts to officially enter a marathon were thwarted, she and her coach, Fred Warwick, organized an invitational event to be run over a certified course in Werribee. Despite Warwick's request, the now defunct Victorian Women's Amateur Athletic Association refused to time the event. Dismissed by the press as a "time trial", Beames performance was not officially verified or recognized. The International Association of Athletics Federations, the international governing body for the sport of athletics, does not recognize the mark in their progression for the marathon world best.Beames was suspended by local officials in Sydney when she entered a race without their permission, thereby ending her hopes of competing in the 1972 Munich Olympics. In the 1970s, she moved to the United States where she studied, worked, and competed on the American road racing circuit. By 1973, Beames held women’s world bests in the 5000 and 10000 as well as the marathon. Despite the doubts that had previously been cast upon her running abilities, Beames posted an official 2:46:25 at a marathon in Scottsdale, Arizona on 10 December 1977. She won the inaugural Asics Half Marathon with a 1:22:15 on 23 July 1983.Adrienne Beames is the daughter of Australian rules footballer, first-class cricketer, and journalist Percy Beames. She excelled in tennis and squash before taking up running. In 1990, she earned a graduate diploma in sports science.".
