The race for the overall women’s title and the U.S. Women’s 5K Championship at tomorrow's CVS Caremark Downtown 5K could very well end up being one and the same with Shalane Flanagan in the field.
Back running this year after recovering from foot surgery in 2006, the Marblehead, Mass. native and 15-time University of North Carolina All-American has already won her second USA Outdoor 5,000-meter championship and her first USA Indoor 3,000-meter title, establishing American records at both distances -14:44.80 for 5,000 meters and 8:33.25 for 3,000 meters.
