ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Meghan McGlinchey ran a 17:07.87 in the 5000 meter run on Friday evening at the NCAA Track & Field Indoor Championships at the Albuquerque Convention Center, finishing 15^th while achieving Second-Team All-American status.

The senior becomes just the second Explorer female in history to earn an All-American distinction, joining Theresa Carroll. Carroll was also named to the second-team after placing 14^th in the one mile run at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 1998.

Abbey D'Agostino placed first in Friday evening's 5k championship, crossing the finish line at 16:20.39. A pair of Stanford runners, Aisling Cuffe (16:22.48) and Kathy Kroeger (16:23.34) placed second and third, respectively.

Friday's performance from McGlinchey put the finishing touches on a spectacular indoor season. The senior broke a pair of Atlantic 10 Conference Championships records in the 5k (16:27.58) and 3k (9:28.43) on February 22-23 and was named most Outstanding Female Track Performer. On December 7, she annihilated La Salle's 5k record with a 15:46.50 at the Jack Pyrah Invitational, the fifth-fastest time in the nation this season.

She was one of only three female A-10 athletes to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships and was La Salle's first NCAA indoor qualifier since ToniAnn Razzi in 2000 (1500m).
