Other Meet Highlights
- In Boston, Ahmed Elmogi ran the second-fastest 200m time in program history, burning down the track to finish in 22.28 seconds. Elmogi's time would place him 22nd nationally and is behind Quinlan Amos' program record (22.21) set back in 2005.
- Also in Boston, Charlie Teeter posted a top-10 time in program history in the 3,000, finishing in 8:28.14. Teeter moves into the top-30 nationally.
