Gapes first woman under 19 minutes at Pre-Nats, BYU beats NC State
NC State's Hannah Gapes won Pre-Nats in 18:57.6, the first woman under 19 minutes on the LaVern Gibson 6K course, per Jonathan Gault. LetsRun says that took 16 seconds off the course record. BYU still won the team race 84-88 without Jane Hedengren, who LetsRun says was out with an illness.
Some incredible depth from BYU, who had seven runners across the line before any other team had four.
