As a 16-year-old junior at Neff High School in La Mirada, California,[4]Шаблон:Self-published inline[5] Heald defeated the then-current 1500m world record holder Tamara Pangelova of the USSR on March 17, 1972, at the Richmond Coliseum.[6][7] [8]Her win was a significant victory as it was during the height of the Cold War and prior to this the Soviet's had predominantly dominated the sport.[9] In doing so, Heald also set a new women's world indoor mile record at 4 minutes 38.5 seconds.[1][4]
