+ See More - See Less -Jenny Barringer proved over her four years at Colorado that she isn't just a great collegiate or even American athlete, but is one of the best in the world In her time at CU, she has earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team, two world teams, is a seven All-American (four in outdoor track, two in cross country, one indoor), an 12-time All-Big 12 honoree (nine track, three cross country) and is a seven-time all-region honoree (four track, three cross country). 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. 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.
