"I was happy with our Stanford performances for the women, three for three with personal records and a new school record,” said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. Dani Walker completed the 5000 meters in 16:30.55 for a fourth-place finish… "Dani's time will most likely get her in the preliminary round of nationals,” Taylor said. “We are going to have some tough decisions at the end of the season since she will likely be qualified for the national championship preliminaries in the 800 meters, 1500 meters, and 5000 meters.”

It is even more impressive after running a 4:46 split in the mile last night in the distance medley relay.”
