This fall it's Abbey Nechanicky's world and we're all just living in it. Nechanicky continued her torrid pace this season at the Heartland Regional where she won her 8th straight race of the season with a time of 16:44.70 to beat out Paityn Noe by 18 seconds.
Nechanicky broke the previous course record in the process. The old course record was 16:48.67 set by former Math and Science Academy standout Tierney Wolfgram.

She ranks 3rd nationally for the 5K this season, only behind Irene Riggs and Ava Bushaw.
