Sheila Reid a Close 2nd to Shalane Flanagan at Mt. Sac 1500 -- Runs NCAA #1 Time of 4:11.85

Sheila Reid closed a 10-12 meter gap over the final 300 meters, but ran out of track in her effort to catch Shalane Flanagan. If the race were 10 meters longer, Reid would likely have won. At last year's NCAA outdoor championships, Reid ran 4:16.66 to finish 4th. Tonight's 4:11.85 is a new PR.
