Georgetown's Chloe Scrimgeour has been on a hot streak that few women in the NCAA can match. After earning All-American honors in the 5k last spring, taking 8th at the 2023 NCAA XC Championships and recently running 15:24 (5k), Scrimgeour has quickly become one of the more challenging distance runners to race against.

The Hoya star walks our audience through her tough adjustment period to the NCAA -- running 2:20 (800) in her first-ever collegiate track race -- to toeing the line against women like Parker Valby and Katelyn Tuohy.
