Nebraskan Emily Sisson ran 16:48.67 to win the women's junior 5,000m Saturday at the USA Junior Track & Field Championships in Indianapolis. Sisson closed an early lead opened by Marissa Treece to recreate a lead pack of four (with Alex Gits and Karen Summers) before beating Gits by less than two seconds.
"I want to peak at the races that mean the most to me," said Sisson, "and this race means a lot to me. I really wanted to peak here. It's only my second time in this race [on the track] and it hurt a lot to kick at the end." Sisson is a freshman at Omaha's Marian High School, and she finished third at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships last fall.
