WALNUT, CALIF. - Distance standout Emily Sisson (Chesterfield, Mo.) took on the 5000-meter field at the ultra-competitive Mt. Sac Relays in Walnut, Calif., earning a berth into the United States Olympic Trials. The sophomore crossed the line in 15:34:54, nearly 14 seconds faster than her personal record entering this year. The time, which should help Sisson contend for a place in the NCAA first round, was less than 19 seconds shy of the event winner, American record holder and Providence resident Molly Huddle (15:15.91).

Several other Friar runners qualified for the post-season - team was split into bi-coastal squads yesterday. They all return to action on April 26 at the prestigious Penn Relays.
