Day 1 of the Portland Track Festival was on Saturday night and the highlight was Emily Infeld beating training partner Shalane Flanagan 15:07 to 15:11 in the 5000m. It was a massive 21 second pr for the often injured Infeld who looks to be in the mix now at USATF nationals. Kara Goucher runner her first track race in nearly 2 years and first 5000 since 2011 ran a respectable 15:40.81 in 4th ahead of Jordan Hasay who has been battling injuries outdoors and was running her first outdoor track race of the year.

In the women’s 10,000m Desi Linden and Sara Hall led 4 qualifiers to USATF qualiying times (sub 32:58) in the 10,000m. Day 2 of the meet is Sunday.
