Allie Ostrander (born December 24, 1996) is an American long-distance runner from Soldotna, Alaska. The repeat NCAA Division I steeplechase champion in 2017 and 2018, she competes for the Boise State University Broncos.

Personal life

Allie was born in Kenai, Alaska in 1996, the daughter of Teri and Paul Ostrander. She has an older sister, Taylor, who was a top middle distance, steeplechase and cross country runner for Kenai Central High School and at the NCAA Division III Willamette University, where she had a best steeple time of 10:40:06 as a sophomore in 2014.^[1]

In high school Allie stood out in academics and track and field. Her main events were in cross country, mountain and distance running. She graduated from Kenai Central in 2015. She began competing in the steeplechase while running for the Boise State Broncos, and being a Sophomore Honors student.^[2]

She has a particular affection for the grueling, famous and venerable Mt. Marathon race in Seward, Alaska, which she began running in grade school. She won the half-distance, junior version of the race six times, the last beating not only the girls but the boys. In her first senior race in 2015, which climbs over 3,000 feet, she finished faster than the standing quarter-century-old female runners record, but was beaten to the wire by world skyrunning champion Emelie Forsberg.^[3][4] In 2017, Ostrander was the winner with her best time to date, 49:19.^[5]

High school career

Allie played on the basketball team as well as running, being coached by her mother in the latter. She won her first state 4A (large school) high school championship when only a sophomore. In 2013, despite only six weeks of training, she finished second to Alexa Efraimson of Washington state, clocking 10:03.66 in the prestigious Arcadia Invitational 3200m in California. In 2014, her senior year, she won the Nike National Cross-Country high school championship.^[6]

In September, Allie finished second in the 6 km Roy Griak Invitational cross country race. On October 16, she won the prestigious Wisconsin Adidas Invitational 6 km in 19:19.5. Two weeks later, she won her Mountain West Conference championship, followed in another two weeks by a NCAA Division I West Region victory. On November 21, she finished as the runner up in the 2015 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships in 19:33.6, a performance others called remarkable for a freshman.^[7]

In January, Allie set a personal record (PR) for 5000 m, with a 15.21.85 second-place performance at the University of Washington Invitational indoor meet. At the Husky Classic in February she set another PR, running 8:54.27 for 3,000 meters. Later that month she anchored her Broncos distance medley team to a first-place finish at the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships, but was sidelined with an injury soon afterward. In July she finished in 8th place in the Olympic Trials 5,000 meters.

Allie returned to form by winning the Stanford invitational 3000 m steeplechase in 9:55.61. In May, at the Mountain West Championships, she set a PR while winning the 10000 m running in 35:51.2. She finished second in the 5,000 in that meet with a time of 16:20.45. In June, she won the 2017 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships steeplechase title in 9:41.31. Just a few hours later, she finished fourth in the 5,000 meters. In November, she ended her hiatus from cross country finishing second in the 6,000 meters in the NCAA West Region Championships with a career best time of 19:16.5, then finishing fourth at the NCAA Championships on November 18.^[8]

2018

Running as a redshirt sophomore at the Mountain West Indoor Championships in February, she set a PR for the mile run in 4:46.06, finished second in the 3,000 meters, and again anchored Boise State's winning distance medley squad. On May 10, 2018, Ostrander finished less than a second behind collegiate event record holder Karissa Schweizer in the 2018 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships at 3,000 meters, registering a time of 8:54:35.^[9] On March 29, 2018 moving outdoors, she set a PR, winning the Stanford Invitational, with a steeple time of 9:38.57. It was the world's fastest time in 2018 for the event by that date.^[10] Dropping in distance, she ran a PR 4:15.06 for 1500 m at the Bryan Clay Invitational. At the Mountain West Outdoor Championships, she won the 5,000 meters and finished second in the 1500. On May 25, 2018, Ostrander again qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships by running 9:40.20 in winning the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA West Preliminary Championships in Sacramento, California. A day later, she qualified for the 5,000 meters as well, by finishing second in her heat in 15:27.46.^[11] In a repeat performance at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, she posted the fastest time in the steeplechase preliminary heats, winning the final after running easily with the leaders for six laps, then leaving the other medalists five seconds behind. In the 5,000 meter race, a little over an hour later, she ran with the leaders until the last 200 meters, finishing eighth, less than five seconds behind first place.^[12]

On November 9, Ostrander won the NCAA Division I West Region Cross Country Championships, prevailing over a formidable field by 13.5 seconds, in a personal best of 19:09.0/ Her effort helped take the Broncos to finish as the second team, four points behind Oregon.^[13] On November 17, along with Anna Rohrer she led the tightly packed leaders through the first 4,000 meters of the NCAA Championship. She faded slightly toward the end, finishing sixth to Colorado's Dani Jones in 19:56.9, 1.7 seconds out of fourth place. Her efforts guided the Broncos to a 6th place team finish.^[14][15] On December 1st, she began her indoor track season by setting a PR in the 5,000 meters, running 15:16.38 in the Boston University, finishing fourth, 1.6 seconds out of 1st place. She was just behind NCAA Division I distance running standouts, Kenyans Sharon Lokedi of the University of Kansas, and Ednah Kurgat and Eritrean Weini Kelati, both of the University of New Mexico.^[16]

2019

On January 26, Ostrander broke the Boise State school record for the mile at the University of Washington Indoor Meet, setting a personal record 4:35.79, for third place, .59 seconds behind Nike Oregon Track Club's Hanna Green and Oklahoma State University's Sinclare Johnson. With her running the mile leg, her distance medley team set a school record.^[17]
