Maddy Elmore Breaks Oregon Program Record To Win Women's 5k At Stanford Invitational 2024 

Great race all of these athletes, Very nice. Awesome time Maddy wow thanks for this race. The world could use more of you!

My daughter did some of her graduate work at Stanford, so I've been there a few times. I love this track! Especially in the rain. It's surrounded by old growth Eucalyptus trees, and you can smell the oil everywhere. It just seems very healthy to be there.

Nice race Maddy, looks to be in extremely good condition, moving up through the early stages and perfect positioning until making her move with ~2 laps to go. Rooting for her and Amy Bunnage from Stanford to make some noise @NCAA Championships in June. Parker Valby is probably too good, but possibly they can finish top 3-5 in the 5k. Really surprised the announcer didn’t have any knowledge of the competitors at all and therefore dead time until the FloTrack info-feed came back up. I mean, the pacesetter, Courtney Wayment, is close to certain to make the 2024 Olympics team in the 3000M Steeplechase, and he obviously didn’t know who she was. And Maddy, after having been injured a lot her 1st 2 years at U of O is showing her true potential these past 3 months. Hopefully her injuries are behind her for good.

Would have been nice to see high school sophmore Elizabeth Leachmann run this race instead of the Texas Relays 5K where she won with 15:25 national high school record and stadium record. I think she could have run sub 15:20 with this competition.

Great run for Maddy!

What a well run race!

Interesting having a pacer for 4k of a 5k race.

What is a program record?

Very weird rolled/twisted ankle moment by Brianna Scott. Not sure if she's wearing spikes, but even if not, having that happen without any contact with another runner is strange. Hope she's OK.
