Emily Sisson Just Ran 15:44 - 2013 NCAA 5000 Leading Times at BU

Banked 200 is as fast as flat 307. Been saying that for years, but nincompoops insist that big tracks are "cheating". Nice to see somebody putting the lie to that.

dibaba ran 15:44 when she was 12.

You're an idiot if you think a 200 meter banked track is as fast as a flat 307 meter track.

Just because these girls ran fast on the 200 track doesnt mean its as fast as the 307. Theyd auto drop a few seconds if they ran on 307.

good run, sisson!

That's my girl!!!!! Congrats homie!!!! What a great race.

Has always been a great facility for 5000m. Don't I remember Lehane running a world record there in the mid 80's? I have had several athletes who have 5000m PR's from that event at BU.

Not same track or facility

Great facility. Impressive times early in the season. Have to wonder what the cut off time will be for NCAA's with no auto qualifiers. New BU record for Matthews too.
