Nightingale is beginning his second season of post collegiate running after a very successful rookie season. The 23 year-old ran personal bests this past year of 3:43 for 1,500m, 13:42 for 5,000m, and 7:57 for 3,000m - the latter placing him 4th at the USATF Indoor Championships. Nightingale qualified for both the Indoor and Outdoor USATF National Championships (3k / 5k), and won both the Virginia Tech and Terrier Classic Invitationals on the track. Nightingale also performed well in both cross country and the roads - he was 10th at both the USATF Club and World XC Trials and won the Armagh Road Race 5k in Northern Ireland in a course record time of 13:54. David will have an abbreviated strength based fall before returning to XC and track in the spring of 2010.
