For all you NY Hoyas get out to cheer for Treniere in the 5th Avenue Mile on Saturday:

On the women’s side, Tollefson was the fourth-place finisher at last year’s race. The St. Paul, Minnesota, resident was a 2004 Olympian at 1500m in Athens. She recently finished third at the USA 5K Championships in Rhode Island (15:50).

Other top women’s contenders include Smith, New Zealand’s 5000m Olympian who holds New Zealand records in the mile (4:30.61) and four other distances; three-time U.S. 1500m champion Treniere Clement (Knoxville, Tennessee), who is looking to extend her outstanding season; 2006 national champions Sara Hall (Mammoth Lakes, California) and Lauren Fleshman (Mammoth Lakes, California), who will step down from their 5000m specialty; 2005 NCAA champion Megan Metcalfe of Edmonton, Ontario; Russian 2000m record holder Yelena Kanales; and 2006 USA Indoor Championships bronze medallist Jenelle Deatherage (Minneapolis, Minnesota).
