What’s in the water in Provo? A record six BYU runners qualified for 10,000 meters at NCAA Track Championships in Texas this week

Provo • Some of them live together, most of them hang out together and all of them run together — at 7 in the morning, most days.

And now they are going together to the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Austin, Texas, this week.

Six BYU distance runners will compete in one event — the 10,000 meters — on Wednesday night at the Mike A. Myers Track and Soccer Stadium as the school will break its own record for most entries in a single event at nationals. The previous record was five, set by BYU in the decathlon in 1975.
