From the Cornell web site:
"The women's 10,000 meters on Saturday night proved to be a real momentum-builder for the Big Red heading into Sunday as sophomoresKelsey Karys and Katie Kellner worked in tandem to produce a stellar 1-2 finish for Cornell, masterfully executing their race plan. After a slow and tactical first two miles, the pair traded the lead for the next two miles as they applied heavy pressure to the rest of the field with faster and faster laps. With two-defending champion Sarah Cummings of Princeton hanging in and even re-taking the lead in the final 3000 meters, Karys unleashed a 5:07 final mile to pull away for her first career Heps title, crossing the line in a new school record of 34:19.99 (breaking the 19 year old mark of Martina Hoppe '94 by .01), also the fifth best time ever run at the Heps. Kellner rallied with great determination in the final three laps and finished second with a 95 second personal best of 34:37.92, #4 all time at Cornell. With a first 5K of 17:50, Karys managed a remarkable 16:29 5K to close out the race, while Kellner ran the last half of her race in 16:47. Also running an inspring effort was senior Kristin Sellers, who ran a personal best 36:05.07, #9 all-time at Cornell, to place seventh."

Ross McDonald pole vaulted 4.87 meters (15-11.75 feet) to place 6th at the Occidental Invitational in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 7. A freshman at USC, McDonald was the top vaulter for the Trojans at the meet. The approximately 16-foot clearance is a PR, and a foot higher than he cleared to win the All-State Meet in 2010. Ross will return to Waban in mid-May and will train over the summer with the New England Pole Vault Club.

If you look at the Cornell website they say that Kelsey actually negative split, running 17:50 and 16:29. By the way her second half would have won the 5k.

Guessing that;s a typo. I'll ask.
