According to the Princeton website, she passed out during the race. Hopefully she's ok.... does anybody know any more details?

any word?
she'll be fine...she is very tenacious and will bounce back fiercely during track.
Too many midterms.
She was way up there still at 4k. Her last 2k was almost 10 minutes.
The Princeton website said she collapsed during the race (obviously somewhere in the last 2k) but was able to get up and cross the finish line. If she had finished with Christy Johnson (Princeton's 1st runner) then they would have come in 6th team wise.
I'm sure she just had one to many all-nighters studying for midterms and she'll come back with a strong indoor and outdoor track season.
how did she collapse and not get medical attention? i have never heard of a runner passing out and then getting up to finish the race. i totally respect that she wanted to finish, but i think it seems a bit unsafe that she wasn't tended to. maybe someone was there, but if you receive attention/help from somone, aren't you not allowed to finish?
With about 800 meters to go she really started stuggling. Have you seen when marathoners get those wobbly legs and can barely stand up? She got those. She tried running for about 300m like that and eventually had to sit down and couldn't get up a for a while. It was crazy to see and I felt bad for her. She seemed fine, just her legs couldn't move.
