(Photograph by d3photography.com)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One year ago, Hill finished ninth, just one-hundredth of a second from eighth place and All-America honors. The eight hurdlers who finished ahead of her all graduated, so the unspoken truth of this season is simple: Allison Hill has a very good shot at winning Bates\u2019 first-ever national championship in the hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>Hurdling requires perfect timing and Hill is going fast\u00a0\u2014 maybe faster than ever before. Now approaching the third hurdle, she starts her takeoff too close to the hurdle, and her trail leg doesn&#8217;t get up in time. Her knee knocks the hurdle over, she falls, and suddenly everything has changed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 10, 2017\u00a0\u2014 the first day of the two-day championship meet\u00a0\u2014 and the story of Hill\u2019s quest for an indoor national title is over before you can say, \u201cIt\u2019s a tough day to be a Bobcat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But for Hill and her teammates, another story soon begins.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the Bates women\u2019s track and field team matched a program record by sending six athletes to the NCAA Indoor Championships. Fellow senior captains Jessica Wilson and Claire Markonic, plus junior Sally Ceesay and sophomores Ayden Eickhoff and Sarah Rothmann, join Hill.<\/p>\n<p>All together, Bates is represented by a contingent of 15 athletes and coaches who made the more than 1,000-mile trip from Lewiston to Naperville. The men\u2019s team qualified five athletes, including All-American weight thrower Adedire Fakorede of Newark, N.J., a junior who is the college\u2019s student body president.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hill\u2019s very human moment in the 60-meter hurdles leaves everyone a little stunned, Hill most of all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fakorede is an impressive athlete who can throw a 35-pound weight more than 61 feet. Even he is in awe of Hill, a graceful, powerful, and tall (5-foot-9) sprinter who, in the fall, was a tenacious All-New England defender for the women\u2019s soccer team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllison is not human,\u201d said Fakorede, who finished fourth in the nation this year in the weight throw. \u201cLet me say that again: Allison Hill is not human.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Hill\u2019s very human moment in the 60-meter hurdles leaves everyone a little stunned, Hill most of all.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106701\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/160204_IndoorTrack_142-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106701\" class=\"wp-image-106701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/160204_IndoorTrack_142-copy-643x900.jpg\" alt=\"Allison Hill\" width=\"300\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/160204_IndoorTrack_142-copy-643x900.jpg 643w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/160204_IndoorTrack_142-copy-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/160204_IndoorTrack_142-copy-143x200.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/160204_IndoorTrack_142-copy.jpg 771w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-106701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Falling in the 60-meter preliminary was &#8220;one of the most surreal feelings I\u2019ve ever felt,\u201d said Allison Hill &#8217;17. (Josh Kuckens\/Bates College)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of the most surreal feelings I\u2019ve ever felt,\u201d Hill said later. \u201cPeople might say, \u2018Oh, she cracked under pressure,\u2019 but I was so ready, I was so excited. I don\u2019t want to know what I actually would have run if I could have finished because that probably will make me sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill does not have any time to be sad now because her next race, the 200-meter dash, is coming up in just a couple hours. The 200-meter dash was almost an afterthought entering the weekend. Now, the race takes center stage for Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the season, we did not plan to have Alley run the 200-meter dash,\u201d head coach Jay Hartshorn said. \u201cBut one meet at Boston University we gave her a week off from hurdles, she ran the 200-meter dash, and she qualified for nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hill\u2019s parents traveled halfway across the country from the family\u2019s home in Brunswick, Maine, to watch her run. But she does not talk to them or anyone else during the short break between the 60-meter hurdles and the 200-meter dash. It is time for Hill to mentally get off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI let some emotions out. Then I put all my energy and anger into the next event,\u201d Hill said. \u201cEveryone said I looked so mean running. I think it helped me to have a chip on my shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It works: Two hours after the biggest disappointment of her collegiate career, Hill sets a personal flat track record in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.27 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>After missing All-America honors in 2016 by a hundredth of a second, she qualifies for Saturday\u2019s finals by the same slim margin.<\/p>\n<p>Fakorede was preparing for the weight throw in the same nearby gym where Hill warmed up for the 200-meter dash. \u201cShe was in the zone,\u201d Fakorede said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106689\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/Adedire-Fakorede-170A0242.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106689\" class=\"wp-image-106689 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/Adedire-Fakorede-170A0242-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Weight thrower Adedire Fakorede '18 of Newark, N.J., who earned All-America honors at the NCAA meet, predicted that Hill would do something &quot;amazing&quot; in the 200 meters.

(Photograph by d3photography.com)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It is now Saturday, day two of the meet. Eight runners are in the 200-meter final, and since the top eight will earn All-America honors, Hill only needs to avoid a false start to win the coveted award. A teammate jokes that Hill should just take a victory lap, do some cartwheels, maybe run backwards. After all, the hard part \u2014 qualifying for the finals \u2014 is over.<\/p>\n<p>Hill does not false-start. Nor does she do a victory lap. Instead, she breaks her own school record, again. This time she runs to the finish in 25.22 seconds, good for fifth in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Hill is now the only Bobcat in program history to earn All-America honors in the 200-meter dash.<\/p>\n<p>Sally Ceesay, a native of the Bronx, N.Y., is among the Bobcats who are impressed, but not necessarily surprised, by Hill\u2019s comeback.

Like Hill, Wilson is a Mainer and senior captain, majoring in environmental studies. But the similarities end there.<\/p>\n<p>Standing 5-foot-6, Wilson is a middle-distance runner, a grinder who, in the fall, led the women\u2019s cross country team to an NCAA championships appearance for the fourth time in program history. In the winter and spring, she is a track star in her own right, twice earning All-America honors with the DMR team.<\/p>\n<p>What really stands out about Wilson is that every time you speak to her about her sport, you come away feeling that you learned something. She is cool, calm and very analytical.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson makes it look easy in the 3,000-meter run, coming in fifth place, good for another All-America finish. But it was not easy, not easy at all.<\/p>\n<p>The previous day, Wilson anchored the DMR team\u2019s All-America finish by running the final 1,600 meters. Tack on an additional 3,000 meters less than 24 hours later and her fifth-place finish becomes even more impressive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m exhausted,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cIt hurt, it really hurt. About halfway through you come to the realization how much it\u2019s physically and mentally hurting you. But you just have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. It\u2019s less than 10 minutes of running and you can do anything for 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106696\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/170311-Event-Jessica-Wilson-Women-3000M-0144-LMK.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106696\" class=\"wp-image-106696 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/170311-Event-Jessica-Wilson-Women-3000M-0144-LMK-900x888.jpg\" alt=\"Jessica Wilson '17 competes in the 3,000 meter run. &quot;It hurt, it really hurt,&quot; she said. &quot;But you just have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.&quot; (Photograph by d3photography.com)\" width=\"900\" height=\"888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/170311-Event-Jessica-Wilson-Women-3000M-0144-LMK-900x888.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/170311-Event-Jessica-Wilson-Women-3000M-0144-LMK-304x300.jpg 304w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/170311-Event-Jessica-Wilson-Women-3000M-0144-LMK-200x197.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/files\/2017\/03\/170311-Event-Jessica-Wilson-Women-3000M-0144-LMK.jpg 1094w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-106696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jessica Wilson &#8217;17 (No. 5) competes in the 3,000-meter run en route to a fifth-place finish. &#8220;It hurt, it really hurt,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But you just have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.&#8221; (Photograph by Lynda Kelley \/ d3photography.com)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Wilson learns after her race that Hill finished fifth in the 200 meters and her face lights up.
