Aussie Hull run out of 3000m medals at world indoors

Jessica Hull has broken her Australian and Oceanian 3000 metres record for the second time in a month - but it was still not enough to win her first global track medal.

The NSW runner clocked an area indoor landmark of eight minutes 24.39 seconds in Saturday night's (Sunday AEDT) 15-lap final at the world indoor championships in Glasgow, but couldn't live with a fast-finishing trio headed by American champion Elle St.Pierre.

Edged out of the medals into fourth place, the 31-year-old Hull was left inspired by St.Pierre, who became world champion a year and a day after giving birth to her son.
