Race Replay: Jenna Hutchins 15:34.47 American U20 Outdoor 5K Record

Johnson City Science Hill High School junior Jenna Hutchins broke the American U20 outdoor 5,000 meter record on Friday at the Five & Dimes Athletics Meeting in Columbia, South Carolina, hitting a jaw-dropping time of 15:34.47 to win among a field of high school and professional women.

That mark is exceptional for a variety of reasons: Not only is it a new American U20 outdoor record, but it also sets a new overall high school national record, surpassing the previous mark of 15:37.12, which North Rockland graduate Katelyn Tuohy set indoors in 2018.
