BOSTON, Mass. --- Redshirt junior Lauren LaRocco broke the UP Indoor 5000m record this afternoon at the Boston Opener. The Pilot, who redshirted the 2017 cross country season, completed the race in 15:50 to move past the 15:51.12 record, which was previously held by Tansey Lystad.
"This is why it's so great to have Lauren back racing for the team," said head coach Ian Solof. "She ran a perfect race, moved up well, and was tough at the end. For her first race since summer, this was really impressive to run her second fastest 5k ever."
