College Graduate-student Emily Sisson</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was crowned the 2015 NCAA Outdoor 5,000 meter champion today (June 13). Sisson
crossed the line in a time of 15:34.10 in her final race to claim her second NCAA title and cap off a stellar career </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sisson dominated her final collegiate race from start to finish. She went straight to the front to lead through the first mile
in 4:59. Through two miles, the lead pack had diminished to a group of eight runners, with Sisson looking strong at the front.</span></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a packed Hayward Field crowd of 11,734 fans watching the race unfold, Sisson picked up the pace to instantly create a gap
between her and the rest of the field. With 800-meters remaining, she had over a 50-meter lead and never looked back.</span></span></p>

distance events that lead the race from start to finish and won. She went in as the most dominant person and proved it. It was a great end to her collegiate career. </span></span></p>
