STANFORD, Calif. OU junior Jessica Eldridge finished 10th in the 1,500-meter run among a field of 16 of the nation’s top distance runners Sunday night at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational hosted by Stanford University.
Eldridge finished just off her personal best in the event, completing the race in 4 minutes, 17.57 seconds. The Broken Arrow, Okla., native was third among the collegians in the race won by Reebok-sponsored Lindsey Gallo (4:09.60).
The only other Sooner in history to run a faster time in the 1500 was Kellie Cathey in 1982 (4:16.29).
The result hands Eldridge the No. 1 ranking in the Big 12 Conference and Midwest Region with just one week remaining in the collegiate regular season.
