Gabbie Bishop Goes Under 17:00, Wins Springdale Schools Invt


Gabbie Bishop has done it again!

The junior from Providence Classical picked up another big win on Saturday at the Springdale Schools Invitational. Against a field of 146, Bishop won by nearly a minute, crossing the line in 16:58.21 and running a 12 second personal best.

The win is Bishop's fifth of the season and is the 21st fastest time run in the country this season.

Bishop joins Lilly Beshears (16:40.40) as the second girl from the Natural State to run under 17:00 in the 5K this season. Arkansas is now just 1 of 6 states to have multiple sub 17:00 runners.

Congratulations Gabbie!
