Smith Shatters School Record at Alex Wilson Invite
South Bend, Ind. --
Sophomore Nick Smith broke the
school record in the 3,000-meter run
with a seventh-place time of 8:26.17
at Notre Dame's Alex Wilson
Invitational on Saturday afternoon.
Smith's time tops Bob Bond's old record of 8:28.75 that was
set in 1998.
Also at the invite, Emily Schnitkey finished eighth in the
mile with a time of 5:08.43 while
Kurt Michaelis finished 13th in the
men's mile with a time of 4:21.08.
Nick Buzek placed 26th in the
5,000 with a time of 15:12.73.
Michaelis, who provisionally qualified for the NCAA
Championships in the mile on Feb. 8,
will find out Monday if his time of
4:02.71 was fast enough to compete
against the top runners in the
nation on March 14 in Fayettville,
Ark. |
