Herrera Qualifies for Finals in 1,500

Dressel and Forsyth finish top-12 in 10,000

AUSTIN, Texas – It was a blistering hot day here at the first day of the 2019 NCAA National Champions, but that wasn't enough to hold back Colorado's Eduardo Herrera from qualifying for the finals in the men's 1,500-meter run.

The sophomore held onto a strong pack of runners in the second heat knowing the time to beat was just 3:47.21 after a slow first heat. After the first 800 the pack went through in 2:03 with Herrera holding tight in seventh position through the final 300 to the bell lap.
