Iowa State distance runner Lisa Koll added yet another accomplishment to her storied collegiate career last Friday, becoming the fastest female 10,000-meter runner in NCAA history.

Koll, a senior from Fort Dodge, set the record at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., where she clocked a time of 31 minutes, 18.7 seconds. Her time was more than seven seconds faster than previous record holder Sally Kipyego’s of Texas Tech (31:25.45).

Koll is now the sixth-fastest female American of all time in the 10,000 meters. The five women in front of Koll are all past Olympians, including the record holder and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan (30:22.22).

Koll’s time Friday was 1 minute, 26 seconds faster than her first-place performance at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and more than two minutes faster than 2009 NCAA champion Danette Doetzel of Providence (33:25.71).

This was not the first time Koll had a record-setting night in Palo Alto. In 2008, Koll set the collegiate record in the same event, finishing in a time of 32:11.13.

The 10,000-meter record further cements Koll as one of the best runners in ISU history. Koll, a nine-time All-American, won the 5,000-meter race at this year’s NCAA Indoor Track and Field championships and placed second in the 3,000-meters.
