Rohrer, was an 8-time ALl-American at Notre Dame, where she ran 15:29/31:58, while Hampton was 8th at the Olympic Trials. *MB: Anna Rohrer goes pro and signs with the BAA - 2:12 marathoner Jonas Hampton signs as well

Penn had the crowds and the fastest collegiate times this weekend which made us happy and hopefully Houston gets a recruiting bump for bringing it on the national stage.

As always the meet will be loaded with top college athletes as well as some pros. *MB: Allie Ostrander Running Steeplechase At Stanford

Karissa Schweizer had to deal with front runners Anna Rohrer and Erin Finn but had too much left in the tank. Cheserek completed step one in the individual triple.

Michigan's Finn will turn 22 years old on Saturday, the same day she could win her first NCAA title. After missing NCAAs in 2014 due to injury and losing both shoes in 2015, will her bad luck at nationals come to an end?

Elise Cranny won the mile in 4:38 in her first race since outdoors last year. Worlds qualifier Clayton Murphy ran 1:46.13 to beat NCAA champion. Both 5Ks were very close as Thomas Curtin ran 13:37 to beat out Marc Scott by .24 and Molly Seidel won from Anna Rohrer in 15:47.

There are lots of things to pay attention to as the calendar has turned to October. #1 New Mexico will run at the Notre Dame Invite on Friday against three other ranked teams while CU opens the season at the Rocky Mountain Shootout on Saturday. Friday's Washington Invitational (Stanford and Oregon are both in the field) and Saturday's Greater Louisville Classic (Wisconsin, Iona, Michigan, Ole Miss, Iowa St.) highlight the rest of the weekend's action. How will stars like Molly Seidel and the Rosa brothers look in their first tests of 2015? How will super frosh Anna Rohrer, Ryen Frazier, Matthew Maton, Tanner Anderson and Jonah Koech do? *MB:  Official 10/2-10/3 Weekend NCAA XC Talk – Notre Dame, Paul Short, UW, Rocky Mountain, etc.

One pushed hard throughout, one waited until the final 800, but both were utterly dominant in earning their historic second wins.

2013 runner-up Hannah Debalsi is back, as is two-time FL West champ and four-time qualifier Makena Morley, who won her region by an astonishing 38 seconds. But neither of them is the favorite. That would be 2012 champ Anna Rohrer, who ran 16:57 at FL Midwest (just missing her CR) despite not running at all this summer while recovering from navicular fractures in her feet.

The Eugene Register-Guard does some good journalism on the Worlds 2019 bid, the Foot Locker Final fields are almost set, some guy runs 1:45 in December, Andrew Wheating runs 13:59, and the Olympic mascots are here.
