Chrissie Sets Stadium Record!

Northeast Baltimore: On a day not designed for PRs, Christine Ramsey ran an exceptional race to beat all the college girls at the Hopkins Meet 5000m. She won by 33 seconds in a time of 17:36.47, and lapped all but the 2nd place girl.

It was a tough race from the gun, the wind was merciless on the home stretch and the temp was chilly. And Chrissie got caught out between a group of 4 dudes and the rest of the race, so she ran all by her lonesome. She ran incredibly even splits and even though it wasn't the time she was looking for, it was a great result.

She then pointed out to me that since this is the first meet held at Hopkins' new track, her time is a stadium record - great job Chrissie!
