John - - That was probably the best race/competition of the trials thus  
far. She competed very well. Coaching staff has done a wonderful job. Will be  
great to see her back next year.
 
Enjoy your summer.

SISSON PLACES  12TH AT OLYMPIC TRIALS 
Friar distance standout  strong against nation’s best. 
EUGENE, OREGON  – Providence College distance runner Emily Sisson 
(Chesterfield, Mo.)  placed 12th in the final of the 5,000-meters at the U.S. Olympic 
 Trials, finishing within the pack against the nation’s best Thursday 
evening  at Hayward Field.  
The rising junior crossed in 15:34.68, narrowly missing a  new personal 
best at the distance by .14 of a second. Sisson finished the  endeavor just 
over 20 seconds behind the winner, Julie Culley (15:13.77).  
Providence resident and friend of the Friar track program  Molly Huddle 
placed second in the race with a clocking of 15:14:40 and will  join Culley at 
the Olympics, along with the third place finisher, Kim Conley,  who timed in 
at 15:19.79.  
For Sisson, the effort in the Olympic Trials completes a  highly successful 
first year at Providence College. Earlier this outdoor  season, she became 
a First Team All-American with a fourth-place finish in the  5,000 at the 
NCAA Championships. She also claimed her first BIG EAST title in  the same 
event. This past indoor season, she was a Second-Team  All-American. 

- Go Friars  -
