Alright! Does that make her the first New Zealand female to win an NCAA title?

Kay Gooch won an 3ki about 10 years ago. I think there was another indoor distance female win. Didn't Nick Willis,the Kiwi from Michigan get a #2 3k '04 indoors, I forget already? I know he'd anchored the medley wins indoors'03? and '04.

Re: Kim Smith of Providence is killing the field...

my mistake according to the collegiate lists she still has the record at 32.17 in 1986, i feel ashamed as i ran with the cross country team at ok state during their 5 a.m. workouts until they switched to afternoon workouts and i had to go to wrestling practice and not both. she was there then. as was 331 1500 meter runner and ncaa champion paul larkins, also the team gave arkansas who won ncaa their only loss. the coach was dick weiss.
