On this week’s episode of The Stride Report Podcast, Ben and Garrett unpack a massive weekend in Boston headlined by Jane Hedengren’s jaw-dropping NCAA 5k record of 14:44, a run that has them wondering if she’s America’s next true distance running prodigy. The guys break down Riley Chamberlain’s 14:58 (5k) all-time effort, Habtom Samuel’s narrow 5k win over Marco Langon, and a string of elite performances across the board! Other key races include Salma Elbadra’s blistering 8:41 (3k), which sits at NCAA #5 all-time, and Colin Sahlman’s razor-thin victory over George Couttie. The guys highlight Helen Braybrook’s D2 mile record, James Harding’s breakthrough mile PR, and Tayissa Buchanan’s dominant wire-to-wire 800-meter win before wrapping with the men’s 800-meter recap.
