In the steeplechase, Larson posted a time of 8:28.94, besting his program record of 8:30.96, which he had set at last year's Bryan Clay Invitational. The senior's performance is currently the seventh-fastest in the nation this year, and the second-best in the West Region. Additionally, Larson clocked a 1500-meter time of 3:40.37, only 0.22 seconds off from Head Coach Rod DeHaven's program record time of 3:40.15. The senior's 1500-meter performance is currently ranked 46th in the West Region.
Ellie Harris will be the track athlete to watch in women's sprinting events as the sophomore holds the second-fastest time in the Summit League in both the 100 and 200-meter events. The 200-meter prelims are scheduled for Thursday at 6:30 p.m., followed by the 100-meter prelims at 4:40 p.m. the next day. Last time out, Harris clocked a 100-meter time of 11.51, which is currently the second-fastest 100-meter time in the Summit League. Harris also posted the 200-meter Jackrabbit record of 23.39 to take silver at the Gary Wilson Invitational.
For field events, Jackrabbit fans should keep an eye on Ethan Fischer in the discus competition, scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
