This year’s field includes reigning USATF marathon national champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin, and five U.S. women with personal records (PRs) faster than 2:30 (including two of the top 10 fastest women in U.S. history). “This year’s elite field highlights an exciting resurgence we are seeing in American distance running right now,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have a deep pool of American runners who are coming to Chicago to run fast, and we cannot wait to welcome them in the fall. We could see new American records and a lot of personal bests in October.” American women’s field With a PR of 2:20:57, Hasay leads this year’s field as the second-fastest American woman in history and the fastest to ever run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Oregon women claim first indoor track crown: The No. 1-ranked Oregon women made their first Division I NCAA Indoor Track and field National Championship look easy, claiming the title March 13 by piling up 61 points. Defending champ fourth-ranked Tennessee was second with 36 points, followed by No. 3 LSU (35), No. 4 Florida (33) and No. 2 Texas A&M (31). Oregon won without coach Vin Lananna, who was forced to stay in Oregon for medical reasons. The Ducks also overcame a disappointing 13-point first night that left them five points behind leader Auburn. “Their spirits were getting down,” assistant coach Robert Johnson said, “and I was like, ‘Look, you’ve got to stop that getting down and throwing a pity party. We’re still in this thing. As long as you guys rally around each other, we can get this thing done.’” Despite the late-night pep talk, Johnson was unsure if his message had its intended effect. “I didn’t feel so good after the meeting, but when I got to see them this morning their spirits were up,” he said. Brianne Theisen kept the good vibes going, winning the pentathlon and putting the Ducks ahead for good. Jordan Hasay and Anne Kesselring then ran fourth and sixth, respectively, in the mile to give Oregon 31 points. Keshia Baker gave the Ducks all the points they would need with a second-place finish in the 400-meter dash. Francena McCorory of Hampton won the event, setting an American record by finishing in 50.54 seconds.

  • “The Gang's Back Together” Is Something That Is Often Heard Over the Summer and Especially the Fall Once 60 Runners Come T
    The team posed for a Homecoming photo in September. “The gang’s back together” is something that is often heard over the summer and especially the fall once 60 runners come together for the cross country season. That sense of gathering is full of excitement and anticipation for the season ahead. This year, the cross country season did not disappoint even though we had two meets canceled due to the weather. Our first meet of the season, the Hornet-Red Devil Invite at Katherine Legge was cancelled because the day was full of thunderstorms. In a symmetric fashion, the final meet of the regular season, the Sterling Invite, was also cancelled because the course was inundated. Notwithstanding the limited racing opportunities, the Friars had a wonderful season led by senior captains Arlene Amaya, Amaya Gonzalez and Laura Durkin. In terms of times, the Friars averaged a 2:19 drop from their first race of the season and the top 5 averaged an 18:46, which was the best average since 2014. Sophomore Mary Jacobs earned the largest personal record drop with a 2:28 decrease. The biggest in-season drop was 4:04, which came from freshman Sonia Kuchinic. It was fun watching Kuchinic, along with many of her peers who were new to high school running, learn to enjoy the sense of accomplishment that a cross country practice provides. The freshmen crew is full of eager, disciplined, mature and driven runners. They are already coming out of their shells, and it will be an enjoyable journey with them for the next three and a half years.

  • Jordan Hasay
    Pacific Association Youth Profile Jordan Hasay By Jack Salisbury Pacific Association Communications Intern Jordan Hasay is a familiar name to many, both in California and on the national track and field and running scene. The junior-to-be at San Luis Obispo’s Mission Prep High School made headlines her freshman year after winning the 2005 Foot Locker Cross Country Championships race with a time of 17:05. Her sophomore year didn’t disappoint either, as Hasay went on to win the Junior 6K title at the 2007 USA Cross Country Championships, and twice set national sophomore high school records in the 3,200-meter run (10:04.52). Her 3,200m mark ranks eighth-fastest on the all-time national prep outdoor list. She holds several additional national high school records, ranging from the freshman 3,000m mark (9:26.32) to the sophomore 1,500m (4:16.98) and two mile (10:07.65) standards. Hasay has garnered so much attention that she has her very own Wikipedia entry, and has been featured in news outlets such as Sports Illustrated (online) and Running Times. In the coming weeks, Hasay will have a chance to add another feather to her cap. The 15-year old will compete in the 3,000 meters at the International Association of Athletics Federation’s (IAAF) World Youth Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic (July 11-July 15). Hasay has extra incentive for to the trip, as she is half-Czech and has family members living in the Czech Republic. 1 “I’m excited,” she said.
