The University of Colorado junior Dani Jones finished second in the women's mile here on the final day of the 2018 NCAA indoor Championships Saturday at Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium.
Just like the 2017 indoor championships, Jones finished her championship race with a dramatic flair. Jones finished second in the mile to New Hampshire's Elinor Purrier by .06 seconds, which is the closest margin of victory in the women's mile since 1991.
Jones got off to a steady and strong start staying in the top pack. She was in control the whole time, gradually moving up into third place to cruise until she found her moment to make moves.
