Maddy Elmore made history on Friday evening at the Stanford Invitational by breaking the Oregon school record for the 5,000 meters, achieving a remarkable time of 15:15.79. This outstanding performance not only shattered the 39-year-old school record set by UO Hall of Famer Kathy Hayes in 1985 but also secured Elmore the ninth spot in collegiate history for this event. Surpassing her previous outdoor best of 16:11.77 from last year’s Bryan Clay meet, Elmore now leads the NCAA season rankings, overtaking Virginia’s Margot Appleton who ran 15:18.21 earlier on Friday at the Raleigh Relays. This marks Elmore’s third school record of the season after she broke the UO indoor mark at 3,000 meters in December and anchored the DMR to a remarkable 10:47.
