Janel Olberding, only a sophomore, had a gusty weekend. After this great race she had to battle through pain to run the 200 and anchor her school's 4x400, so this race couldn't go unmentioned...
(and yes I give an intense yell, so watch out for that)

Jenny Barringer
Tasty Race of the Week (June 8)July 27, 2009 Jenny B is at it again....fast races, breaking records. She has been on a roll all year and this past weekend was no exception. Barringer finally raced women, and some of the best around. If you didn't get to watch the race on TV you definitely missed out, but lucky for your Jenny B's 1500 is this week's Tasty Race of the Week!
Jenny became the 3rd fastest American of all time and only the 4th US woman to break 4:00. She was about 6 seconds under the NCAA record of 4:05.
Check out Jenny's post-race interview.

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. |

About Ryan's stache - for those of you who have not been following it, YES that thing is real...real nasty!
we love it!!!!!
“dan, why don't you go kiss mark or something... we all know you two would make a great couple with your manly love for each other...”
I'm not sure what you are talking about, but take it easy.
JennyB is so exciting to watch! Can't wait for her next race!
And to "Poopie", below: I was wondering what happened to Rowbury, too, but then I realized she still ran like 4:03 high! I think it's just that Jenny made everybody else look like they got smoked!
P.S. Mark, recently after a run I happened go straight to a local bar where I ordered a Sam Adam's White Ale on tap. Seriously the most refreshing post-run beverage I've come across. Give it a try.
THAT STASH!
“Agreed! Can't we just get the Flotrack guys to do all nationally broadcasted commentary from now on?? They mentioned Shalane ONCE in passing, didn't mention Jenny B until they saw her setting the last 100 on fire, nor did they mention the budding rivalry between Jenny B and their "stand out - featured" athlete, Anna Willard. And in the 2k event, they failed to mention the fact the Kara Goucher took podium finishes at NY & Boston Marathons recently (kinda relevant for how she'll race shorter distances now-a-day), and I don't even think they mentioned Sally Kipyego's name. Get a clue - commentators. A mere 10 minutes of reseaching before hand would have saved them from sounding like such a$$-monkeys!
I love Flotrack... Flotrack for President, 2012!!!!”
I love Flotrack... Flotrack for President, 2012!!!!
