Just saw this and came on here to celebrate....holy crap

So she ran, what, a PR of 16:44 at the totally flat Liberty Bell Cross Invite in the fall (course record), which is basically like a road course but at 5,400'. Yep, no conversion for altitude to sea level, nothing to see here, move along folks...
Congrats Brie Oakley! -
Holy crap. I didn't do that until college and I ended up running 13:54. Damn.

7 straight years the girls national 5000 indoor record has been set at NB.

Yes, and that only makes Brie's record even more impressive- she DOMINATED Weini Kelati's time from last year! Didn't she take 13-something odd seconds off of the record? Unbelievable. #runlikeagirl -
And she didn't seem to have much competition. Second place for 16:48. If she had someone to run with she might of ran faster. I can totally see her breaks 15:45 outdoors. I hope she break 10 tomorrow for the 2 mile. No reason why she can't.
She would qualify for the NCAA indoor championships 5000m on her time I think too. I wish her the best. -
Brie has a very bright future ahead of her! If she keeps this up she may just have a shot at taking down Cain's HS 5k record. She could definitely run faster if she had competition to push her.
-
Really? Need to make it about you? Sigh ok....you da man, Mr. 13:54.
-
She will be attending college at UCal Berkeley. Alas.

Her time would have been 8th at NCAA. With people to run with she could have had a shot at the outdoor time.

Jesus... amazing!!
