Shelby Houlihan Wins NCAA 1500m Title For ASU TandF - Arizona State Sun DevilsPublished by
EUGENE, Ore.—Arizona State track and field’s junior Shelby Houlihan won the NCAA title in the 1500m run on Saturday at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field. Houlihan overcame a late press from Florida’s Cory McGee in the last 200 meters to win the race in 4:18.10. This marks the first national title of her Sun Devil career and the first-ever title in this event in program history. “Shelby ran a very smart, mature race,” women’s distance coach Ryan Cole said. “She kept herself out of trouble, and stayed poised throughout some jostling in the pack. She got out of it, did the right thing, and closed things down the rest of the race. I’m very pleased she was able to execute so well, because Shelby loves being a Sun Devil and representing the university. To be the first to win a title is something she’s very proud of. She’s setting an example for her teammates to follow and we’re all very happy for her.” Read the full article at: www.thesundevils.com
