We don't expect her to pull it off as we think Nia Akins will win her first NCAA title in the 800, but if Jones wins just 1 NCAA title she'll join Jenny Simpson and Adam Goucher for the most in CU history. Plus can Whittni Orton win her first in the 3000?

Nelson has battled health issues this spring, while Rivers ran a tactically poor race and wound up boxed in with nowhere to go in the home straight. Ostrander's 9:44 was the fastest time ever in an NCAA prelim.

Some big names will be looking to win their 4th NCAA titles later this week in Austin.

Danae Rivers was just 5th coming off the final turn but somehow she got the win over Penn's Nia Akins at the line. In the men's race, Kansas Bryce Hoppel was clearly the best.

We think Texas A&M's Devin Dixon, who set the American collegiate record of 1:45.27 this year, and NCAA women's 1000m record holder, Penn State's Danae Rivers, will be tough to beat in the 800s at NCAAs.

Canadian 5k record crushed, Ethiopian road records fall + 1 Japanese high school coach produces 3 sub-2:10 marathoners.

Believe it or not, the Oregon women have never won the DMR at NCAAs. Look for that to change on Friday as we think the Ducks will win both DMR titles.

It's been 27 years since there was a repeat winner of the NCAA women's mile but that likely will change this weekend unless UNH's Elinor Purrier or Penn State star  freshman Danae Rivers can pull off an upset.
