6pm Saturday: Katie Jenson in the 3,000m finals of the 2017 NCAA Indoor T&F meet - Almadenmike - 03-11-2017 09:49 AM

Tonight at 6 p.m. (Central time) in College Station, Rice record-holder Katie Jensen will compete in the 3,000-meter finals of the 2017 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Katie has the 8th fastest qualifying time (9:05.66), only 4.45 seconds slower than the best of the 16 finalists. With just 6.01 seconds separating the first and 16th qualifying times, this race is wide open.

Best of luck to her today. She's already assured of being all-American I believe (top 8 should be 1st team and second 8 should be 2nd team?).

I would think Karissa Schweizer of Missouri is the favorite. She was the NCAA Cross Country champion in the fall and won the 5000 yesterday in College Station with a pretty impressive time (15:19.14).

I wonder what happened. She has run <9:10 before. Anyway, congratulations to an All American. Maybe next year will be even better.

OldOwl - I believe it was hinted that she was paced in that other, open race, which usually helps with getting the qualifying time she needed. In a more tactical race like this, anything can happen, and you usually won't hit your best time for the season. That's still a great result, with another year to go.
