Day Two - Collegiate 4x1500m, Olympic Development Steeplechase, 5,000m and 10,000m.

4x1,500m leadoff legs: BC's Laura Smith, Arkansas' Andreina Byrd and Stanford's Ashley Cooper. Ann McGranahan leads off for Villanova. Texas A&M's Andrea Bookout. Cooper, Smith, Bookout and Byrd, followed by Auburn's Spring Dawson and Columbia's Caitlin Hickin. BC's 3,000m national champion Shannon Smith and Stanford's two-time high school national champ Erin Sullivan.
Wake Forest's Courtney Lancashire. Smith and Sullivan followed by Melissa Gulli (Texas A&M) and Lilli Kleinmann (Arkansas). Sullivan again. Christin Wurth (Arkansas), Katie Ryan (BC) and Jennifer Whatley (Texas A&M). Lauren Fleshman, who ran a collegiate leader in the 5,000 of 15:49 less than a week ago, takes the baton for Stanford.
Stanford's Sally Glynn and Arkansas' Tracy Robertson run the anchor leg. Robertson, the NCAA indoor mile champion, sealed the victory for Arkansas with her 4:16.4 split. The Olympic Development steeple took place Friday night but wasn't nearly as deep as the collegiate races the previous day. Eventual winner (10:28.22) Kris Laubenstein of the Bryn Mawr Running Co. leads runner-up Megan Coombs (10:28.58. The Olympic Development 5,000m: Sarah Hann stays tucked in behind the leaders. She finished 3rd in 16:08.22.
Catherine Berry (2nd, 16:05.88) leads with Molly Watcke (1st, 16:04.40) on her shoulder. Nadine Marks leads the woman who the results listed as Kim McGreevy, but most certainly is not. Bethany Eigel (4th, 16:37.61) joins Watcke and Berry. Unfortunately, the women's OD 10,000m only had 3 competitiors and they were all about 2 minutes apart from each other. Michelle LaFleur finished 2nd in 34:52.
 
  Megan McLaughlin of Radford finished 3rd in 36:32.39. Breeda Dennehy Willis ran to a solo 32:36.50. In retrospect, it would have been nice to see the OD and collegiate 10,000s combined.
