Christine Babcock (born 19 May 1990) is an American former long-distance runner. She is an Oiselle professional athlete and competed in the US Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon as a high school athlete. She set two national high school records at the distances of 1500 and 1600 meters respectively. Running for the Washington Huskies track and field program, she was a two-time All-American collegiate athlete. She represented the United States internationally at the 2015 Pan American Cross Country Cup, where she won the team gold medal.[1]

Early life and education

Babcock was born in Laguna Hills, California. Her parents met at a running club and her mother, Kelly Babcock, competed in the 1984 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.[2] Christine is the middle of three daughters.[2]

Christine attended Woodbridge High School in Irvine, California.[2] She graduated at the University of Washington in 2013.[2]

Athletic career

High school

Babcock's first major victory in track and field came by winning the girls' 2006 outdoor 1600 meter CIF California State Meet title in 4:41.29 (with a margin of over 1 second) as a sophomore.[3]

During the following cross country season, she won the CIF Division II State Championships by 13 second with a time of 17:20.[4] In the spring she won her second straight 1600 meter state title in 4:38.85, a new California Interscholastic Federation Record at the time.[5]

In her senior year, Babcock again won the State cross country Division II title, this time in the fastest time of the meet, 17:04. In 2008 track, she won her third straight CIF state meet by 16 seconds in the 1600 meters, was a national high school record of 4:33.82[2] until 2014 when Alexa Efraimson ran faster at the Washington State meet. Additionally, she won the Mt. SAC Relays 1500 meter race in 4:16.42, at the time a national record.[2] This allowed her to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Trials.[2] Her record would later be broken by Jordan Hasay at the 2008 US Olympic trials in a time of 4:14.50.

College

In the 2008 cross country season, Babcock led the University of Washington to the program's first NCAA championship.[2] She was the first finisher for the Huskies, at seventh place overall, with a time of 20:02.[2] In track, she set a personal best time of 4:15.10 in the 1500 meters at the NCAA National Championship preliminaries. She later went on to finish 11th in the finals.

2009 led to another All-American performance in cross country, with Babcock finishing 34th nationally. Her team finished 3rd nationally.[2] She also placed fifth in the Pac-10 Conference championships.

In January 2010 Babcock stopped running due to an injury in her right foot.[2] Her athletic hiatus lasted seven months.[2] She then missed the 2011 season due to an Achilles tendon injury.[2]

On November 30, 2011, she was named the "Pac-12 Scholar Athlete Of The Year" with a 3.93 grade point average.[2][6]
