Top 25 Fastest Times from 2014 & 2013 for the Trinity/Valkyrie Girls Race
In only its second year of existence, the Bluegrass Cross Country invitational has already earned a reputation. Notable for fast times, strong competition, and hotly debated validity (more on that in a minute) this was a meet I’ve had on my coverage radar for some time. Last year’s meet saw a battle down to the wire between John Spencer of Lafayette and Eric Baugh of Villa Madonna with both PRing in the mid-to-low 15’s. This year was hoping to produce more of the same, adding several more to the “sub-16” club. To ensure legitimacy of the course Coach Hawboldt of Tates Creek confirmed that no less than 3 separate entities measured the course: The University of Kentucky, Lindburgh High School (St. Louis MO), and himself. Each gave measurements within 1% accuracy of 5000m.

Alan Webb had a meteoric rise to fame unlike any high school distance runner before him when he broke Jim Ryun's high school mile record at the 2001 Prefontaine Classic with a 3:53.43 jaw-dropping performance at Hayward Field in Eugene. Webb's life and running career has been a rollercoaster ride since then including several injuries and comebacks, coaching changes and moves, US titles and Olympic dream disappointments, an American record in the mile, marriage and fatherhood, and his latest chapter after retiring from professional runner this past winter in working to become an elite triathlete.
