Courtney also holds U.S. Collegiate record of 9:24:41 set in 2016 ....It's great to see younger runners
coming along to challenge more established ones. Makes me wonder where Allie Ostrander will be
in a few years. She is dominating the Collegiate steeple . Her PR is 9:38 and change so she has a bit
to go before catching Courtney. However I venture to guess that if she can stay injury free she may
well graduate holding the Collegiate record. It was interesting to see that she chose not to run the
Mt. Marathon race this year. Perhaps she felt that part of her injury problems may have been caused
by running the Mt. Marathon race 6 times as a junior and twice in the adult race . Her speed is also
improving as she managed a 4:15 1500 this year....Also right behind Ostrander are Prouse, Murphy
and Stoner. Will be fun to see how women's steeple evolves over the next few years.
