Lauren Johnson beats Shalane Flanagan in the mile at the UW invite??

That was probably over a 10 second pr for her. Thats normal right?

2:03 and 4:16 from last year. Not sure about before that, although a year ago her 800 PR was 2:09

she ran 4:16 in 2010

Did Tegenkamp scratch from the mile? His name isn't on the start list anymore, I feel like it was as late as this afternoon.

I saw him running up Terwilliger yesteday. Asked if he was running in Seattle today. He said, "No."

Obviously Teg and I are pretty close.

he can probably hit 6 minute miles at hood to coast for you....

And a 4:48 mile, according to her web site.

Congrats to Lauren! She was in Charlevoix last summer @ the Ryan Shay mile and seemed to be a great gal.

Basketball in college, 400h her senior year (where?), now 800/mile, maybe steeple outdoors...quit an athlete and kind of a blank slate, running-wise.

she had a sneezing problem when she was younger, but it improved her lungs.

I also have a lot of respect for shalane for running this race...a couple months out from her marathon she obviously isn't in great mile shape but when pro's aren't afraid to put it on the line and potentially get beaten by someone with less credentials than them, it makes the sport much more interesting to follow. Props to both Flanagan and Johnson

I wish all pro runners had websites like hers.

Well, can't hurt to have another good 1500 runner...can't wait until Spring! Should be interesting!

I am just going to guess that's not the same Lauren Johnson

Finals

1 Johnson, Lauren Nike 4:33.64$

2 Flanagan, Shalane Nike 4:33.81$What other times has she run?? Nice race by Geena Gall, don't think I've seen her run over 800.

Technically that's a pr for Flanagan indoors in the mile. Really though she almost split that during her 8:33 3k in 2007. But it's still a good race where she probably just got outkicked.

Gall has a 4:15 1500 to her name from 2009 outdoors, and a 4:41i in the mile in 2007.

When I first saw the thread title I thought "Did Fleshmanget married???"

To complete the thought:

When I first saw the thread title I thought "Did Fleshman get married???"

To a BroJo?

Go Indiana distance runners.

Sounds like she's still coming back from the marathon training.
