Matt Centrowitz (Nike Oregon Project)
In one of the most entertaining post-race celebrations of the weekend, Matt Centrowitz crossed the finish line of the JDL Fast Track mile with an ode to NFL quarterback Cam Newton. Centrowitz finished the race with a winning time of 3:54.02 and “dabbed” at the line in Winston-Salem.

Jenn Suhr (adidas)
After coming oh-so-close to breaking her own world indoor record last week, Jenn Suhr returned to finally break the mark on Saturday in Brockport, New York. She cleared 5.03m, which broke her previous mark of 5.02m set in 2013.
Kim Conley (New Balance, NorCal Distance Project)
To close out an already impressive indoor campaign, Kim Conley ran her way to a 15:09 victory in the UW Invitational 5K, beating the rest of the field by 12 seconds. Conley’s performance came just a week after setting a personal best in the mile at the New Balance Games where she ran 4:27.88 against a stacked field of milers. The race earned Conley the honor of Tasty Race of the Week:
Flo Freshman
Allie Ostrander (Boise State)
The NCAA XC runner-up made her debut on the track with a second place finish at the UW Invitational 5K in an NCAA-leading time of 15:21. Ostrander’s mark was run on an oversized track at the Dempsey in Seattle so it won’t count on the official all-time collegiate list, but her time ranks as the third-fastest time in collegiate history on an oversized track.
.@allie_ostrander runs a 15:21.85!! Absolutely shatters the previous 5,000m school and @MountainWest records!

Carlton Orange (Arkansas)
The 18-year-old made his collegiate debut on the track with a personal best of 1:47.38 in the 800m at the Razorback Invitational. The time currently ranks the USATF Junior Champion No. 6 in the NCAA.

The All American rolled on the college competition at the BU Terrier Invitational after riding the wave of Chris O’Hare’s stellar victory of 3:56:00. Knight closed for second in 3:56.87, which currently ranks No. 1 in the NCAA.

Wesley Frazier (NC State)
After completing a year of sitting out from competition because of NCAA transfer regulations, NC State’s Wesley Frazier finally made her debut in the red kit with a 9:01 3K at the JDL Fast Track. Because the race was run on a flat 200m track, her time converts to 8:56, which currently ranks No. 1 in the NCAA.
UPDATE: Wesley Frazier's 9:01.26 3k has been confirmed as the indoor school record! #STATEMENT pic.twitter.com/BPmV2fxJSj
