Viking runners Hanne Thomsen and Jude Devries not only had big wins at the Rancho Invitational but their times over the new 3 mile course were amazing.
Thomsen clocked a blazing 16:11 to surpass all of our past superstars minus Julia Stamps. That’s a 5:24 mile pace.
Teammate Devries was timed in 14:52 for a 4:57 mile pace to equal the 10th fastest time ever.
