Koskei, Topham Open Indoor Seasons in Boston

BOSTON—Winny Koskei and Rebekah Topham ran the 5,000 meters to open their indoor track seasons Saturday at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener.

Koskei completed her first race of the year with a time of 16:16.75. Distance coach Kirk Hunter said Koskei couldn't keep up with a fast pace (Taylor Werner set the collegiate record in the indoor 5K in Koskei's).

"She wasn't able to maintain (a faster) pace over an extended period of time," Hunter said. "We agree that we need to work on maintaining speed for longer that way she can compete in those races.
