A standard for abs
US women's 5000 meter NCAA outdoor best.
Where are people watching this? Flotrack Pro? Is there a free stream?

nobody cares...everyone is too busy jacking off to the events in Boston
3rd, not 4th.
Woohoo, Abbey!
Thanks for posting the video.
and to think she's only a junior..
I'm calling it now, Big Green= up and coming Ivy

Yeah the 14:11 5K WR is out of reach for mere mortals...there is T. Dibaba and M. Defar and then there is everyone else.
But still great time for Abbey D!
C'mon people show some love for this amazing humble young lady. She is the real future of America distance running. She has for sure locked a position in the WC team to Moscow. I wonder how this site would have been if this performance was by Jordan Hassay

She has a thread on her already. What more do you want? It's impressive.

Agreed! The fact that she is simply destroying everyone time and time again this season (indoor and outdoor) shows she has much more left in the tank. Everything is lining up nicely for her to not only dominate NCAAs all season, and more than likely break 15 at some point, but also win the US title in the event. She continues to improve at such a strong rate. It's only a matter of time before she's the golden girl of American distance running.
What's not so impressive is Sara Hall. What is going on with her?

Sorry, one kid ain't gonna do it, and she only has one year left.
Yeah! Abbey is killing it! Excited to see what she'll do the rest of this season and beyond
Original post was correct. Third performer, fourth performance.

Realistically, Dartmouth *is* coming up; but other Ivy teams are improving at least as fast (some faster). Dartmouth certainly has a lot going for it, and I believe they have the potential to be competitive for Ivy championships (particularly in cross), but I also believe their whole current crop of athletes will be gone before they win a championship--or even come close.
Abbey's got one more fall. D's ideal scenario is to have Abbey healthy for Heps cross (this year she wasn't)--then they'll essentially be in a "score four" situation. But unless they've recruited massively for next year (they *have* had some success, I've heard) and get their best people healthy and fit, I don't think they'll have another four women who can underscore the front fives from Princeton, Columbia, and Cornell--maybe not Brown, Yale, or Harvard, either.
