The ladies’s 1,500 meters yesterday, just like the Males’s 800 meters, was excellent.
Nikki Hiltz gained the third-fastest 1,500m for an American lady ever, with Emily MacKay taking second and Elle St. Pierre, the 5000m champ, taking third. Eight ladies underneath 4 minutes took half within the race.
Nikki’s racing expertise have been honed in Aptos, CA, in highschool underneath the watchful eye of Dan Gruber, one in every of my coaching companions within the Eighties and a fantastic coach. Nikki is one robust racer; they didn’t make a unsuitable transfer yesterday.
