Hannah Gapes gets yet another massive PR in the 1500m in 4:07.44! Every race she runs she is setting a new PR. In early April she sets a 5 sec PR in 4:11.37 (prev Pr was 4:16.87). At the outdoor nationals last weekend, she set a 13 sec PR in the 5k in 15:25.93.

The race start couldn't have gone worst for her, As soon as the gun went off, Hannah got boxed in on the rail and immediately was in last place and already 1 secs behind. She worked her way all the way to 4th place. Incredible comeback. Congrats.

(Note: the timing site says 4:07.44 is Division 1 #13 best time)

Table below was REMOVED as it's unclear if the meets are on the USATF-sanctioned meet list. Once that's verified I'd repost.

Heads up next Friday July 3rd-4th Sadie Engelhardt and Angelina Napoleon return to Hayward Field in Eugene for the Prefontaine Classic. Friday Jul 3rd is the 1500m and July 4th is the 3000m steeplechase.

Sadie Engelhardt was NC State's most-anticipated freshman, regardless of sport. She backed it up over the last 9 months:

- 2x All-American
- 2x ACC Freshman of Year
- 2 ACC records
- Indoor ACC mile champ
- Team XC NCAA title

Tonight at 8:45pm (PST)/11:45pm (EST) live on NBC Peacock, Sadie Engelhardt will be racing the 1500m at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene OR. Several other NCAA 1500m runners will also be competing:
Salma Elbadra (2nd at 1500m in outdoors)
Juliette Whittaker (ACC 1500m outdoor champ)
Wilma Nielsen (indoor mile champ)

Race conditions will a Perfect 75 degrees at race start and light winds are forecast. Sadie's PR is 4:03.28 which she did at the Wake Forest Invitational. I think she'll beat that time. Go Sadie!

Wasn't in the cards for Sadie, finishing in 4:08.10 for 12th place.

This afternoon at 1:45pm (PST)/4:45pm (EST) live on NBC Peacock and NBC Sports, Angelina Napoleon will be racing the 3000m steeplechase at the Eugene diamond League in Eugene OR. The field is loaded. The gold (Faith Cherotich) and silver medalists (Winfred Yavi) from the Tokyo World Championships will be racing as well as NCAA runners Doris Lemngole (2025 steeplechase champ) and Taylor Lovell (2026 steeplechase champ).

Angelina's PR is 9:10.72 which she did at the Paris Diamond League in 2025. I don't think a PR is realistic but Angelina should be able to make a nice improvement on her SB of 9:35.56. Go Angelina!

Angelina had a great race, running 9:19.41 for 11th place. The time was a 16.15 sec improvement on her previous SB of 9:35.56.

Angelina has also qualified for the USATF 3000m steeplechase in Eugene OR. The prelims are on Thursday July 23rd and if she makes the final on Saturday July 25th.

Over the weekend, Angelina Napoleon clocked a season best 9:19.41 in the 3000m steeplechase at the Prefontaine Classic in Oregon. The performance was 16 seconds faster than her NCAA Championships time!

Saw that Sam Bush ran a 4:09.40 for the 1500m at the Sunset Tour on July 11th. Nice to see her return to racing and representing Adidas. I haven't seen any results for her since last year's outdoor nationals. She has also submitted that time to USATF and if she makes the cut will be joining Angelina Napoleon in Eugene July 23-26.
