The good news just keeps on rolling in. Two more Nike CPTC athletes will be competing against the nation’s best in Boston. Natalie Gingerich (below, left) will race the 1500m, and Aileen Conlon (below, right) will run in the 3000m.
Natalie earned her spot to run against the likes of Sara Hall, Jen Rhines, and Shayne Culpepper by running the mile in a PR of 4:47.97 at the BU Valentine Meet on February 17th. Aileen’s qualifying performance came at the end of January, when she set a new club record in the 3000m by running 9:29.78 at the BU Terrier Classic.
Check out the complete fields Aileen and Natalie will be racing against here. The women’s 3000m goes off at 5:40 p.m. on Saturday February 28th; the women’s 1500m takes place on Sunday March 1st at 6:10 p.m. ESPN2 will broadcast the meet on Sunday evening between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
