Symmonds, Simpson, Martinez: Records to shoot for

Nick Symmonds made a brash announcement recently: He wants to break the 800 and 1000 American Records, indoors and out.  Four AR's total!
Also, the first two major entrants in Boston's New Balance indoor meet were announced: Jenny Simpson will run the 2 mile, Brenda Martinez the 1000.
Here's the list of the records (and places) on the All Time lists these 3 greats will be shooting for.
One at a time.
Okay, Nick, you're up first!

Symmonds will be 30 years old all of 2014.
The age records for 30 year olds:
          800 indoor: Borzakovskiy 1:46.08    2012
        1000 indoor:  Basha            2:17.29   2009
         800 outdoor:  Barbosa       1:43.08   1991
       1000 outdoor: Rotich           2:14.64   1999

The AR's are:
       Indoor:  Gray     1:45.00     1992
       Krummenacker  2:17.86     2002
     Outdoor:  Gray    1:42.60     1985
              Wohlhuter  2:13.9       1974

My T&F Record Book has what I call "DDD's", or "Double Dandy Dozens".
These are my lists of the top 24 (Thus the DDD's--two dozen=24!!) all time performers.
Here's some places Symmonds will be aiming at.

Indoor:
Nick is currently 12th US, with his 1:46.48 from 2008.
He's not on the 1000 list, but 24th indoors is just 2:17.81 on the World DDD, and a mere 2:20.32 on the US DDD!!
24th on the World 800 list is 1:45.57.

For now, I'll pass on the outdoor targets, etc, and wait until the sunshine season begins.

Jenny Simpson

She'll be 27 in 2014.
The best age 27 3000 I have is Meseret Defar's 8:36.91 from 2011.
This MIGHT be wrong, as ages 26 and 28 are both sub-8:30's!!
However, the two mile mark is Tirunesh Dibaba's 9:13.16 from the 2013 Boston meet!
(That's where Mary Cain got her HSR's in the 3000 and 2 mile!!)

The AR's are:

           3000     Shalane Flanagan    8:33.25   2007
         2 mile      Regina Jacobs        9:23.38    2002
Simpson's 3000 PR of 8:42.03 from 2009 currently ranks 5th on the US DDD.
She doesn't have a two mile time, as far as I know.

The Boston meet records are both held by Defar.
The 3000 mark is 8:30.05 from 2005.
The two mile is her 9:10.50 from 2008.

Brenda Martinez

She'll be 26 during the indoor season.
The age 26 record for 1000 is....the WORLD Record!!
It's 2:30.94 by Maria Mutola, set in 1999.

The US mark is a bit easier.
It's 2:34.19 by Jen Toomey in 2004

Toomey's mark is now 8th A-T in the World.
In 24th on my US DDD is a 2:43.44.
There are 10 under 2:40, and 4 under 2:38.
In 24th on the World DDD is a 2:35.88.

Some (or ALL??) of these records could go!!
