This week on Run Junkie we recap the action in NYC and take a look at the upcoming regional weekend! If you're interested in contributing to the fun this weekend let us know at runjunkie@flotrack.org.
Lauren Fleshman began running well in high school at Canyon HS, in California. She was a state champion many times over and took third at the Footlocker National Cross Country Championships. Fleshman went on to run at Stanford University as a 15 time all-American. She won the NCAA 5k in 2001, 2002, and 2003 and is the collegiate record holder in that event. As she went pro she did just as well, being the runner up in 2005 USA Outdoor Championships in the 5k and winner the following year.
Lauren is the U.S. 5000 meters champion in 2006 and 2010, and has competed at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics in 2003, 2005, and 2011. In the 5000 meter final of the 2011 IAAF World Championships[1] she finished 7th place, equaling the highest ever finish by an American woman in that event.
