Video of Jane Hedengren’s NCAA 5000m Indoor Track Title | Results

Jane Hedengren of BYU put on a front-running masterclass, ratcheting down the pace to win her first NCAA title by capturing the 5000 in 15:00.12. It was also her first victory over Alabama’s Doris Lemngole and the highlight of Day 1 of the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

We broke Jane’s run down here, but sometimes you just need to watch the race. So we’ve got race video and results for all of the Day 1 finals below. Post-race interviews can also be found below and on our YouTube channel.

Race video from the ESPN+ broadcast plus results for the finals are below.
