University of Providence senior Kim Smith not only completed her successful 5000m/3000m double title on the final day of the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., today, but she shattered the NCAA indoor record for 3000m in the process.

The New Zealander crushed the field, winning by 16 seconds in 8:49.18, well under PattiSue Plummer's 1983 record of 8:53.54 and below her own national record of 8:55.88 set on 22-Feb when she won the Big East Conference title in Syracuse.

Sara Bei of Stanford (9:05.02) and Ida Nilsson of Northern Arizona (9:07.92) finished second and third, respectively.

Smith closes her indoor season undefeated in six races.
