Default PAO Gaff during launch?

Was it me . . . or did I hear the PAO announce that the vehicle's speed
was 1,000 mph at some point just after the stack completed roll
program? It was at some point less than T+ 60 seconds and it was
before the typical PAO call that the engines were throttling down in a
3 step fashion to minimize maximum dynamic pressure (as the vehicle
approachs and passes through Mach 1).

I am not harshing on the guy . . . we are all human . . . mistakes get
made. I just wondered if I really heard him right?

Blue skies . . .

John
