Arkansas’ Lauren Gregory’s massive anchor leg wasn’t enough to pull ahead of Stanford as the Cardinal win the Distance Medley Relay at the 2023 NCAA indoor track and field championships with a time of 10:56.34. Watch the full race here.
Women's DMR – 2023 NCAA indoor track and field championships
If Arkansas adds Wilson this race is theirs outdoors but that won't happen.
That was an insane leg from the Arkansas anchor but hats off to Stanford. Whittaker ran a gutsy leg to seal the win. That takes physical and mental strength to push through like that with a runner bearing down on you with nothing to lose.
Why can’t producers figure out how to show the other finishers instead of focusing on the after race collapse of those who have finished? Production would be better if the entire event were shown and there is interest in those who do not finish first.
Shame Katelyn Tuohey wasn't running
It would seem the coaches messed up Washington. "Washington ran three of the four women (albeit in a different order) from the squad that set the NCAA record of 10:46.62 back on February 3 at Boston University. Anna Gibson ran the open mile instead of the DMR anchor. Yet tonight’s race could not have gone more differently. The race started poorly as UW handed off in last at the first exchange, more than four seconds behind."
If they want to make these events popular, they should hire horse racing announcers instead of these idiots that tell you nothing.
Irene Griggs out of Morgantown, WV is gonna add lots of strength to that Stanford team next year!
She gave it everything she had!
Lauren Gregory is a beast!
Be nice if you would post the record time in a second clock.
this lead announcer is terrible. how do you not track how washington has fallen off by 150m?! get someone better
NC State sacrificed this race for good coaching reasons. Put any of NC State’s middle distance people in the race and anchor with Tuohy and it’s game over. NC State ran 10:48 in February with Tuohy. Stanford ran 10:56 (at altitude). Great effort by Stanford by does anyone doubt that Tuohy in her present form wouldn’t have run down Stanford? Or Gregory (although she is quite on-form right now). I don’t. Kudos to Stanford and Arkansas in any case! Side note. Note that in men’s DMR, the slow teams yielded the inside lane to the fast teams. The women did not. I’ll never understand why. Let the fast teams have the inside lane(s). Please.
Lauren Gregory what a star.
Great job Notre dame 3rd.
Stanford girls seem very nice.kudos
Maya is in fact Andrews daughter lol
That Arkansas anchor leg was nuts
Please post the menS DMR
What happened to Washington's team – did someone get hurt?
Lauren’s 4:25 mile altitude adjustment would put her at the 2nd or 3rd fastest indoor miles by a collegiate runner if it was an open mile, just behind Katelyn Tuohy’s 4:24 or Jenny Barringer’s 4:25! Of course Tuohy ran a 4:23 split in a DMR too. Where can we see top collegiate times that are part of relays to compare them?
Lauren Gregory’s 4:31 would have had 6 seconds taken off for altitude, so she essentially ran a 4:25 altitude-adjusted mile!
Gregory has such insane range. Mountain vertical runner, insane 5k, and a 4:31 anchor here. Insane mental strength
anchor leg crazy
