Emily Lipari finished fourth at the 2023 USATF Cross Country Championships 10K (32:31.7), earning a Team USA berth at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia, on February 18.
In 2022, returning from injury, she debuted in the 10,000 meters at The TEN in March, clocking a fast 31:24.82. In April, she finished third at the B.A.A. Invitational Mile and later in the month, Lipari won her third USA title at the Grand Blue Mile, clocking 4:33 (4:32.3). In July, the two-time race champion finished runner-up at the Fleet Feet Liberty Mile (4:28), just edged by Nikki Hiltz.
In 2020, the Villanova grad won her second USA 1 Mile Road Championship, breaking the tape in 4:29.3 at the Blue Oval Showcase in Des Moines, Iowa.
In 2019, Emily again won the Fleet Feet Liberty Mile in 4:34, her second title at the BBTM Grand Prix Tour event. In October, she shattered the course record with her 4:33 clocking at The Navy Mile, the BBTM GP Tour 2019 finale, and also finished Tour 2019 women's runner-up.
Lipari opened her 2018 outdoor racing season by winning her first USA title at the Grand Blue Mile, edging 2016 Rio Olympian Brenda Martinez, 4:32.87 to 4:33.07. Two weeks later, she maintained her winning ways on the roads by defending her Medtronic TC 1 Mile crown in 4:40. In August, she continued her hot streak with wins at the West Chester Mile and inaugural Guardian Mile, running 4:28.62 (track) and 4:34 (road), respectively. With 26 points, Emily also defended her BBTM Grand Prix Tour crown.
In 2017, she produced her best professional year to-date by winning three top Mile races with her strong closing kick: Medtronic TC 1 Mile (4:35), GNC Live Well Liberty Mile (4:35) and HOKA ONE ONE Long Island Mile (4:28.84, her first track sub-4:30). The former two victories secured the BBTM Grand Prix Tour 2017 women’s title.
While competing for Villanova University, Emily was an 11-time All-American and won the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championship Mile in 4:38.82 (altitude). The Wildcat finished her collegiate career at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championships by placing 4th in the 1500 meters (4:19.60).
FUN FACT: In high school, Emily was more a soccer player than a runner.
FUN FACT II: Her husband, Tim Nangeroni, is a submarine Naval officer.
