Jen Rhines after 4th place finish at USA Championships 5000

In this interview, Jen talks about taking a risk by bolting with about 6 laps left, not getting the necessary 50 meter cushion on the pack she thought she needed, and how she felt about her 4th place finish. Rhines will run the 5000 at this coming weekend's Prefontaine Classic and will then head to Europe.

Villanova signee Chris FitzSimons from Hamden, Connecticut -- one of the top three 800 meter runners in the US prep ranks this year -- anchored the victorious 4 x 800 relay team tonight at the New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, North Carolina. He took the baton in 8th place -- over 4.6 seconds in back of the leader -- and stormed to the front to win at the tape (by .18 seconds). His split of 1:47.15 was the fastest of the day. Here are the splits from the fast heat (which produced the top nine teams overall): Race video is at bottom of the post.

Rhines 5th at Brutus Hamilton 3000

Jen Rhines ran 9:09 at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berekely on Friday night, good for 5th place. Rhines is aiming to get under 9:00 for the outdoor season, and a 9:09 this early on is nothing shameful. Her best last year was 9:02, achieved in August at Gateshead in the UK, although she does own an off-the-charts 8:35 PR from 2007. Ex-Cat Marina Muncan served as rabbit. Results are here (and video of the race is at bottom).

Lipari Dominates Mile Field at Nike Indoor Nationals | #4 All-Time USA Prep

The jewel of Gina Procaccio's incoming 2010 freshman class, Emily Lipari, set a meet record in winning the NIN Girls mile, in 4:42.64. In 6th place at 1500 meters, she used a blistering last lap to win by 4 seconds. Lipari, from Long Island, NY, is the national leader in the mile and is now #4 on the all-time USA prep mile list.

Notice, as well, that the 12th place finisher overall, is Nicole Schappert's younger sister, Stephanie, a junior at Pope John Paul II high school, and (like Nicole before her) a two-time Florida state cross country individual champion.

Rhines 2nd at Gate River Run 15K

This race in Jacksonville, FL served as the USA 15K championship. The folks at LetsRun.com described it this way:

With this year's race once again featuring the Equalizer Bonus, the elite women's race started five minutes before the rest of the field. At the start, clear, cool conditions met more than 13,000 runners as McGregor and two-time champion Jen Rhines (Mammoth, Calif.), 2006 champion Blake Russell (Monterey, Calif.), 2008 Olympian Magdalena Lewy Boulet (Oakland, Calif.) and 2004 Olympian Colleen De Reuck (Boulder, Colo.) led more than 45 of the top U.S. women through the opening miles.

By five miles, McGregor and Rhines had pulled away from the field and were in a two woman race for the championship. Approaching six miles, McGregor made her move and began to pull away from Rhines.

As she made her way up the famous Hart Bridge, McGregor steadily extended her lead and cruised to the finish 36 seconds ahead of Rhines. Boulet held on to take third in 50:38 as De Reuck took fourth in 50:50 and Rebecca Donaghue (State College, Pa.) finished fifth in 51:12.

Here are the top 10 women finishers:

Healthy Blincoe Aims Toward October | Video from FloTrack

After his outdoor season in 2009 was washed away by a freak injury, VU alum and assistant coach Adrian Blincoe is interviewed here after his 3:58 indoor mile at the New Balance Games on January 23. As a Kiwi, Blincoe will participate in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, to be held this October in India. He's trying to regain his 13:10 5000 meter form incrementally and his sub-4:00 indoors at New Balance constitutes his 2010 debut. Blincoe is the New Zealand national record holder at 5000 meters. Among Villanovans, only Sydney Maree has run a faster 5000 meters.
