Cornell University Athletics

A four-time NCAA All-American and school record holder in the 800 meters on the track, Uceny captured six individual Heptagonal titles (all at 800 meters) combined with four relay crowns. Uceny held the event's record at both the indoor and outdoor Heptagonals and was a part of the 4x400 relay team that holds both Heps marks. The Most Valuable Performer at the 2006 indoor ECAC meet, Uceny set a meet record in the 800 en route to winning the event. All told, Uceny held eight school records (indoor 500, 800 and 1000 meters, indoor and outdoor 4x400, outdoor distance medley and sprint medley relays and outdoor 4x800), and three all-time Heps marks (4x400, 4x800 and sprint medley relays). Uceny served as a team co-captain and helped lead Cornell to eight consecutive indoor and outdoor Heps team titles. She finished as high as fourth (2006 NCAA indoors) at the championships in the 800, and showed her versatility by posting the second-fastest time in the 1,500 meters in winning the event at the 2007 ECACs in her second collegiate race at that distance. She was named the USTFCCCA Northeast District Runner of the Year as a senior and placed sixth at 800 meters outdoors. Professionally, Uceny finished the 2011 season ranked No.1 in the world at 1500 meters and won the final at the 2012 U.S. track and field Olympic Trials, qualifying for the London Olympic games and reaching the finals in the event. She competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2016, finishing fifth. Uceny won U.S. Championships at 1500 meters indoors in 2010 and outdoors in 2011 and 2012 and placed 10th at the World Championships in 2011.
