FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (4/24/21) – Distance school records falling has become commonplace for the Arkansas State track and field team.
Two records fell on Saturday to start the John McDonnell Invitational, as Bennett Pascoe took down a 50-year-old record in the 3000m steeplechase before Lexington Hilton broke his second school record this outdoor season in the men's 5000m later in the evening. Pauline Meyer also shattered her own steeplechase record to highlight a day that saw the Red Wolves total 21 personal bests.
Pascoe showed his knack for breaking school records that stand for 50 years or longer once again, running a blistering 8:38.
