AZUSA, Calif. - Sarah Schmitt destroyed her personal best across 5000 meters on Friday night (April 14) at the Bryan Clay Invitational in California.
Running out of the second heat in the invite section, Schmitt shaved six seconds off her lifetime best run in 2022, crossing the line in 15:53.34.
A season's best by 18 seconds, Schmitt bettered her No. 5 mark in program history and sits No. 5 in the Big Ten following the night's action.
The Naperville, Ill. native was a First Team All-Big Ten honoree in Cross Country and the Big Ten 5K runner-up indoors this season and will look to close out her collegiate career in style this spring during the outdoor campaign.
After tough running conditions last week in Tennessee, Maddie Russin bested her personal best outdoors by two seconds, finishing her section of the 800 meters in 2:08.60.
Parker Raymond led the charge on the men's side in a time of 1:49.94. Keefer Soehngen and Nico Colchico both ran personal bests in 1:50.08 and 1:53.17 respectively.
Phoebe Bates and Gabriel Sanchez contested their second race of 5000 meters this outdoor season in the open sections of the Bryan Clay Invitational.
Saturday's action includes the men's and women's 1500 meters at the Bryan Clay Invitational, headlined by Jake Gebhardt, Camden Marshall and Maddie Dalton.
In Kentucky, the large majority of the Hoosiers will compete in the Louisville Invite.
