Stanford Invitational: Michelle Gaye runs 34:20.07 for 10,000 meters!

The first text from Chuck was a mild buzz and I did not feel it or hear it. The second text woke me up. Fumbling for the reading glasses, I focused and knew it was time to snap to attention. Something special was happening out on the West Coast. When the remarkable, even splits were finished, so too was yet another historic effort from Michelle Gaye in a 25-lap race.
