Weini Kelati

She ran like 1:06:20 something in the half.

I think Weini Kelati was right behind her, and then Jessica McLean from the USA was also like below 67.

The reason why I know the Americans is because like, uh, I'm currently in America, so the n- the media currently...

I mean, sorry, the people around me cover the Americans a little bit more.

And so I, I started this off, we talked, you know, power conference, and there's nothing that's not power about this program and what Joe Franklin did for years.

And then, and then you start looking at the names that came through, and you'd mentioned Hopton Samuel, Josh Kerr, Weini Kelati, Edna Kiirgot, Courtney Frerichs, Alice Wright, Luke Caldwell, all, all these just amazing athletes who went on, did great things here and then have had incredible careers.

I mean, they-- When a guy like Josh-- You said Josh Kerr was at practice the other day, and I know that doesn't necessarily help recruits, or maybe it does 'cause you can say, "But here's the guy who just broke the world record in, in the mile." And, and wh-when you go out, it, it pr- you say everybody knows about it, what does that do in recruiting? You go into a living room, you make a phone call, you're on a Zoom call, you make a recruiting call, and, and just having that list of athletes that came out of this place.

place.Yeah, for sure.

But for her, that 66:23 is a personal best by 72 seconds, moves her to number three on the all-time list.

The only people ahead of her right now are Weini Kelati and Taylor Rowe.

Uh, Emma Grace gets the women's-only American record, which, like, I'm trying to think of, like, how many, [chuckles] how many women's-only half marathons are, are run out there, at least, like, here in the States.

But still, very cool to have that on your resume.
