It was one of the more thrilling races to watch unfold over the weekend. As the last few laps of the 12.5-lap women's 5,000-meter race happened, it became clear that sophomore Gianna Tedeschi was onto something special. How special? She nearly pulled off a dramatic, come-from-behind victory. Regardless, her 14-second PR was amazing -- Coach Chuck said he predicted it and saw it coming! -- and her near-victory had the finish-area bleachers going nuts. It was pretty exciting. Check out the official race splits below and you can see how her final lap she almost ran down the first-place finisher from rival Iona. Photos above are from the race and the raw emotions of athlete and coach afterwards.
