OXFORD, Miss. – Fifth-year senior Jack Anstey rose to the occasion on day two of the Joe Walker Invitational, taking down three records and achieving an NCAA West Preliminary Round qualifying time in the 1,500-meter run.
Anstey, who placed eighth overall with his time of 3:39.17, has now broken the 1,500-meter school record three times, twice just this season. With that time, Anstey leads the Missouri Valley Conference and broke the Valley record in the 1,500m for the second time this year. In a deep field where the top-eight finishers all ran sub-3:40 and broke the Ole Miss Track facility record, Anstey's time was the second-fastest time in the NCAA West Region and the ninth-fastest time in the NCAA, currently.
