A 66.4 lap by Emma Bates gave her a 7 second lead with 3 to go.
Dominique Scott is struggling now.
Bates is fading big time now.
Great to see that we missed Bates make a move and open up the race.
Bates is cooked!
This is crazy.
Bates next lap was over 83. I think she must have thought there was a lap to go instead of a mile to go. Seidel is dominating now.
Molly Seidel!!!
did she break the foot locker curse? or did someone do it before her. i forget.
not Bei. not Cuffe. i guess Hasay kinda did, but indoors.
regardless, impressive.
Crazy, crazy races.
Bates must have thought there was a lap to go instead of a mile.

The "foot locker curse" said that no women's foot locker champ ever won the NCAA xc meet. It has nothing to do with track.
Bates said that the move was planned out beforehand and that her coach told her to run a 68 with a mile to go to break up the field (she actually ran a 66). She was in good spirits after the race and said she had no regrets. Very classy.
That. Was. Awesome.
Haha, Molly Seidel's name wasn't even mentioned in the thread until she won.

There was a chance that every woman's race 800 and up would be won by a former NCAA champ. I think the fact that it didn't turn out that way is amazing. Nothing better than a runner winning their first NCAA title. It's conversely heartbreaking when a champion loses in their final collegiate race.
Don't think they ever mentioned Stites name who finished 3rd and was in 2nd place for some of the race including much of the final lap until Scott passed her on the last straightaway.
Only ones really mentioned were Curham (since she was leading early), Blaase (who led later), Bates and Scott (because they were favorites), and then the Oregon runners (because they just like to talk about all Oregon runners even those without a chance).

"NCAA steeple leader Courtney Frerichs says she wants a pb and sub-8:30 in the final. She welcomes bad conditions as they are the same for everyone."If she runs sub 8:30 that would be news! If, more accurately, she runs sub 9:30, that too would be news.

We are posting post-race interviews as we get them here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/letsrundotcomShelby Houlihan says her goal isn't just NCAAs . She's dreaming even bigger and wants to make Team USA for Worlds in the 1500.
https://youtu.be/w3APu11_wOcHere is one with NCAA 1500 leader Rhianwedd Price. She talks about her less than pretty form and how next year she'll be joined by her twin sister in the USA:
https://youtu.be/M7qmPkSPA8MWe caught up with all of the steeple favorites.
Colleen Quigley talks about how even thought Karen Harvey is gone, she was extremely organized and left her workouts all the way through NCAAs.
https://youtu.be/IbritJ8QrILeah O'Connor says she is a process oriented runner, not an outcome oriented runner . As a result, she can't control what people others do in the final or if she clips a hurdle. She wants to win Saturday and make the final for USAs but her focus isn't external. She also discussed sitting down with her coach and picking the steeple over the 1500 for NCAAs.

The coach lost the race for her.
