10 College Freshman Women With The Talent To Impact NCAAs

Brie Oakley (University of California) 

Brie Oakley, like Weini Kelati, also has a national title under her belt. Oakley was the 2016 Nike Cross Nationals Champion running 17.10. Oakley also holds PRs of 2:13.73 for the 800m, 4:41.95 for the full mile, and 9:51.35 for the 2-mile, which ranks U.S. No. 2 all-time. On the XC course, she set records at the Liberty Bell Invitational by running 16:44.00. One weekend later she won the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic by running 15:53.60. Oakley rarely lost a race over 800m during her high school career, which is a big part of why she's ranked Flo50 No. 5 in FloTrack's preseason rankings
