Barringer owns the American record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at 9:12.50 and owns several stadium records in the steeplechase (Drake Stadium, 9:29.20; Ed Weir Stadium, 9:44.46; John Jacob Track and Field Stadium, 9:26.20 and John MacDonnell Field, 9:25.54). She is also the NCAA Championship Meet record holder (9:25.54) as well as the NCAA Midwest Region record holder (9:26.20). Barringer has won three international meets (two in the steeplechase, one in the 5k) and has earned numerous awards over the past four years. She has proven that she isn’t just a steeplechaser as she owns the collegiate record in the indoor mile (4:25.91), 3k (8:42.03) and the 5k (15:01.70) as well as the outdoor 1,500 (3:59.90), steeplechase (9:25.54) and 5k (15:07.64); and on top of that she owns seven CU records. Her times in the indoor 3k and 5k were the fifth fastest in the world during the 2009 season (first and second, respectively, by an American) and her mile was the fastest of the year. Barringer became the third fastest woman in the 1,500 at the Prefontaine Classic when she shaved over eight seconds off her PR to record a sub-four minute time at 3:59.90. It was the third fastest time in the world and she was the second best performer in the event. For her 2009 collegiate season, Jenny was awarded the inaugural Bowerman Award in December of 2009.Her most recent accomplishment was winning the steeplechase at the USATF Outdoor Championships for the second time in three years. At the world championships in 2009, Barringer became the eighth fastest performer in the event of all-time.

#26	Mike Mather June 7 at 1:31pm Jenny just went sub-4 in the Prefontaine Classic 1500! Second by 1/100th to Kenya. reply
#25	Nebur Ross May 31 at 12:39pm Jenny is such an awesome runner and person. She's awesome at the steeple, the only critique I have is her form. I think she slouches forward too much. Gulnara Samitova is a great example of the perfect form for the steeple. reply
#24	Anonymous Coward May 26 at 6:00pm Well that will have to wait until she finishes up her final year of cross at CU. Thank goodness she is finishing her 4th season. She will obviously supply some exciting races for the flofans next fall. reply
#23	Jazzy Pants May 26 at 3:07pm Homegirl's about to set the whole world on fire after college when she "goes pro", (as if she hasn't already set enough fires). Very exciting person to watch over the next decade or so!! reply
#22	Dnixon May 26 at 12:05am Flotrack: you guys are hands down the best new internet forum for track & field. Really appreciate your hard work, the enthusiasm and humor you show, the creativity, and your passion for the sport. Thanks. P.S. On a minor note, in Jenny's bio for "365 Days Later," change "ladder" to "latter." reply
#21	Brent May 25 at 9:14pm wow, they don't have hot chicks on flowrestling. i'm gonna take up jogging. reply
#20	Anonymous Coward May 25 at 7:59pm I think there is a big difference between sometimes lacks humility in interviews and being arrogant. I don't think she is arrogant. But there are a lot of excellent runners who are very humble. It is still nice to see humility in excellent runners, or any high achievers. I think of Josh McAdams as a great athlete who is very humble. reply
#19	Xcid May 25 at 5:28pm jenny so hott right now, jenny. reply
#18	Anonymous Coward May 25 at 1:37pm hottie! reply
#17	Anonymous Coward May 25 at 1:35pm kind of hard not to see yourself as a very good runner when you habitually completely embarrass the rest of the NCAA in the 5K... reply
#16	Not Arrogant May 25 at 12:07pm There is a huge difference between acknowledging that you are one of the top athletes and being arrogant. Jenny is absolutely not arrogant, she just realizes (like everyone else does) that she has accomplished great things. She should be happy for herself and I think her attitude is ALWAYS refreshing, positive, and admirable. I can't wait to see what the future holds for her! reply
#15	Anonymous Coward May 25 at 8:44am seconded reply
#14	4sstar May 25 at 4:19am Is there a newton's cradle being played with through this whole interview? Kind of distracting. Great interview though...not sure it's a "lack of humility"...more of a confidence that can't be beat? reply
#13	lewruns May 25 at 3:11am jenny always has the best interviews reply
#12	Quinn May 25 at 1:22am I'm with you Jake A... Americans need to step up in all distance and technical events to match the rest of the world. When someone like Jenny raises the bar for the US athletes, it has nothing to do with being prideful. She's genuinely fired up about taking her events to the next level. She has a humble fire in her which is perfectly OK. If you pay close attention, you'll see that she always pays tribute to those who help her or other athletes and does not get y. So, quit the crabs in a bucket syndrome. We need to power our American athletes. reply
#11	Jake A May 24 at 11:14pm This notion that people who have talent and set lofty goals and achieve them and want to achieve even more are somehow "lacking in humility" has got to end. These kinds of aspirations, and being able to articulate them, are supposed to be what the sport is all about. The sport could use 20 more like Jenny reply
#10	Epoman May 24 at 10:58pm She is awesome. reply
#9	Blake Shaw May 24 at 10:06pm If I had a million dollars, I would buy Jenny Baringer. reply
#8	The Truth May 24 at 10:01pm shrunken head said: “she's a great runner, so maybe it's justified, but she definitely thinks shes awesome and it comes through in most of her interviews” she is awesome and i am glad she knows that. you rock jenny! reply
#7	Jason May 24 at 9:19pm Knowing Jenny personally, I think you are very wrong. She has always been just in love with competing. She is so focused on the sport and gets such a high from the competition and pushing herself. It's not arrogance it's just matter of fact. reply
#6	Shrunken Head May 24 at 9:11pm she's a great runner, so maybe it's justified, but she definitely thinks shes awesome and it comes through in most of her interviews reply
#5	MikeyB May 24 at 7:24pm a lot of it was "over looked" because of Flotrack was giving more attention to the guys races, which sucked because the attention was given to some very aveage type races! but I noticed Jenny! reply
#4	CSULA Lore May 24 at 6:02pm u r an inspiration to all student athletes! reply
#3	Chris Auld May 24 at 5:49pm Anonymous Coward said: “Jennie seems like a wonderful person and incredible athlete. But sometimes she lacks a bit of humility in her interviews.” I don't see how she is lacking in humility... reply
#2	Bill May 24 at 5:42pm Once upon a time there was this guy named Rono... reply
#1	Anonymous Coward May 24 at 5:15pm Jennie seems like a wonderful person and incredible athlete. But sometimes she lacks a bit of humility in her interviews. reply

Jenny Barringer "365 Days Later"

Jenny Barringer is having arguably the greatest collegiate year by any track and field athlete in NCAA history. She talks about what was going on a year ago after Big 12s when she lost the steeple, hadn't set one record and had yet to become an Olympian. A lot has changed since then. Over a span of 11 months Barringer sets NCAA records in the 3k Steeple (also American Record), the indoor 5k, indoor 3k, indoor mile, and outdoor 5k (with the latter 4 coming between Feb 14th and May 2nd). The future looks bright for Jenny as well as US Women's Distance running.
