She is coming off her fantastic performance at the Big West Championships where she defended her title in the event, taking gold back-to-back seasons. At the Stanford Invitational, the Temecula native shattered the school and conference record with her time of 15:38.45. Weidler hopes to reach the national meet for the second time after placing 21st overall in her previous campaign.
