UW Mile City - women - Rosemary Longisa with a 4:24.59 meet record

Wow. #3 NCAA all-time.

1 Silan Ayyildiz 4:23.46

2 Katelyn Tuohy 4:24.26

3 Rosemary Longisa 4:24.59

4 Grace Hartman 4:24.76

5 Maia Ramsden 4:24.83

3 Rosemary Longisa 4:24.59 * oversized indoor track

You put an asterisk by it, but do you think it is any faster than the versions of the Armory or BU track, over the years?

Will she get another TT attempt before the typically tactile NCAA Indoors (held at Arkansas this year.)

Hartman and Ayyildiz were at last year’s BU David Hemery Valentine; Tuohy’s was at the Armory; both had top pros in the fields.

Some guy or two on this forum kept wanting to make it a point that Valby’s NCAA records would likely fall before Tuohy’s. Haven’t heard that talk in a while, particularly as we approach a 3000m race at Millrose, eh?

it is not just me, ustfccca does as well.

Currently #8 on the mile list - note the "OT"

There will likely be another fast mile at BU in 2 weeks should she want to run that

I have not heard that but a year or so back I asked how long the 4 records (2 each) that they had would last. 2 went down last year (1 each). Pretty good chance the other 2 go this year I would say.

I want to say Hartman was not in the fast heat for that? Looking it up she was in heat 3 and won by 10 seconds.

Thanks for that. Hartman’s run that day was incredible. It seems now a bit uncertain whether she will run another indoor season for NC State.

Tactical? Otherwise, they just can't keep their hands off each other.

You can chalk that one up to the AI proofreader, if you please.

Or my dementia.

It's obviously very fast (and I was in the stadium and saw it live, it was a good race), but after Hedengren ran 4:23 in HS last year somehow this just doesn't seem like it's as good as it really is. I had a similar feeling back when Hobbs' HS 1500m time was better than the NCAA record.

This era of young people smashing incredible times is crazy. Rapidly changing my perception of what "good" is.

Thanks for posting this. Longisa looked powerful and, compared to Foerster, incredibly smooth and relaxed. Don't be surprised if Rosemary runs sub-4:20 before leaving Wash St.

Hartman was interviewed after world cross country. She said they were still evaluating but the plan had been to skip indoors this year and her inclination was not to change those plans.
