Whittaker gives Arkansas another championship-level quarter-miler and Olemomoi follows her former Alabama coach to The Swamp, giving the Gators a distance threat to replace Parker Valby.
Elsewhere, Washington loaded up with mid-distance runners, highlighted by Amina Maatoug. Illinois landed two quality combined-event athletes from the Lone Star State inEliza Kraule and Kristine Blazevica. Clemson added Judy Kosgei after she had an elite freshman mid-distance season. Kosgei will bring her 2:01.66 PR in the 800 to form an exciting tandem with fellow sophom*ore Gladys Chepngetich who ran 1:59.81 in the 800.
