CONWAY — Leslie Beckwith broke her own course record in the third annual Gary Millen Mile by 11 seconds Friday night and still didn't win the race at the Gary Millen Stadium on the campus of Kennett High School. That honor for the women went to fellow Intervale resident Meg Skidmore, who has headed to London this week to represent the United States in the World Triathlon Championships.

Skidmore won a sprint down the home stretch with a large, vocal crowd cheering her on to set the new women's course record of 5 minutes, 33 seconds. Beckwith was second in 5:35. Skidmore is scheduled to compete in London on Friday morning.
