Medei Breaks Women's Indoor 5000M Program Record in Boston

BOSTON, MA – Grace Medei and Jordan O'Neill were the lone Broncs to represent the Broncs in the 5000m at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener hosted by Boston Unversity on Saturday. 

Grace Medei broke the program record for the 5000m race, finishing in 16:41.95. Medei breaks Meg McGarrity 2017 record of 17:02.64

O'Neill ran a 17:22.52 in a very competitive race with over 100 athletes competing. 

Quotes and Notes
"Incredible race by Grace today. She has been so great this fall and this was another tremendous performance by her. I'm so proud of what she's accomplished and we will be encouraging her to enjoy the moment. 

Both races were ECAC qualifiers. 

Jordan struggled a bit over the last mile. She likely pushed the pace too early. This will be a good learning experience moving forward." – Rider Director of Cross Country, Track & Field Bob Hamer

Up Next
The Broncs are next in action on Jan. 10 when they compete at the Spartan Invitational at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Center in Staten Island, NY.
