Beastly Begley Kills 10,000m @ USATF Nat'ls

Stud of the meet thus far, Amy Yoder Begly stomped the stadium record at Hayward Field in the 10,000m final set last year by Olympic Trials champion and fellow Olympian, Shalane Flanagan. Her time of 31:22.69 was a substantial PR and edged out Flanagan by a little over a second (31:23.43). Begley's time moves her to #9 on the Top US Womens 10,000m History list. Hopefully this will be covered tonight on ESPN! Watch it, I have a feeling the Flanagan/Begley battle was pretty intense.

More official results from yesterday's prelims and finals found here.
