Scrimgeour doubled during the NCAA indoor season and the outdoor season, competing in the 5,000-meter run in both championships. Scrimgeour took seventh at the NCAA indoor meet. At the outdoor championships, she did not finish as the race was less than 48 hours after her fifth-place finish in the 10,000-meter run.
• All-American Melissa Riggins is set to compete in the women's 1,500-meter run. This NCAA season, she took fourth in the women's mile in a school record (indoor mile) time of 4:29.02 while finishing fourth at the NCAA outdoor 1,500m. Riggins will be one of 12 collegiate athletes in the field.
