Bates Finishes Fourth in 5,000, Attains Record-Tying Sixth All-American Honor

Emma Bates was fourth tonight in the 5,000 at the National Championships, the first of two events she qualified for. Bates ran the 5000 in 16:25.66, 5.27 seconds out of first place, won by defending champion Abbey D'Agostino of Dartmouth (who also edged out Bates for the national championship in cross country).

Bates earned All-America honors, the sixth All-American award in her career, which ties Emma with Ryan Grinnell (2008-09) and Jarred Rome (1997-2000) for the most ever at Boise State.
