NCAA Division I Outdoor National Championships
Hayward Field, Eugene, OR, USA
June 9-12

Summary of Middle & Long Distance Events

NOTE: As usual, the NCAA Championships did not dissapoint. Oregon's Andrew Wheating earned the 800m/1500m double, beating rival Robby Andrews in the process. He also led an Oregon sweep in the 1500m, as A.J. Acosta and Matthew Centrowitz placed second and third. Northern Arizona's David McNeill edged Sam Chelanga once again in the 5000m, but Chelanga earned his own national title in the 10,000m. Texas A&M won the team title for the second year in a row. A pair of SEC runners won the 800m and 1500m on the women's side. Tennessee's Phoebe Wright and Florida's Charlotte Browning, both of whom won national titles indoors in their respective events, took home wins. Lisa Koll of Iowa State proved her dominance, winning the 5000m and 10,000m in commanding fashion and closing out her NCAA career. Penn State's Bridget Franek earned the 3000m Steeplechase crown. Like the men's competition, Texas A&M took the team title for the second year in a row. Nicole Blood, Saratoga, finished her career with a third place finish in the 10,000.
