"She's off to a good start," said head coach Jon Cutright. "To PR this early is pretty good. Especially since she really struggled in mile indoor last year, so we're pretty happy for her. She deserved it."
Woods beat her previous PR set at the 2011 Landmark Indoor Championships by five seconds as she crossed almost 24 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. She also placed third in the 5000m at the Classic, finishing in 20:18.56.
