Frances Koons goes 15:54.23 at Portland Track Festival
Misses "B" Qualifier for USA Nationals by 4 Seconds

Stepping to the line last night in Portland, Oregon for the Portland Track Festival 5000 HP race, former Villanova All American Frances Koons needed to run 15:46 to ensure a spot at USA Nationals (or 15:50 to attain the "B" standard for the event). Koons just missed getting the "B" standard, running 15:54.23, good for 10th place. Koons owns a 15:29.86 PR (at Stanford in May 2011).  While at Villanova, Koons was the 2009 NCAA indoor championships runner-up to Sally Kipyego over 5000 meters, and finished 3rd at that distance behind Angela Bizzarri and Nicole Blood at the NCAA outdoor nationals that same year.
