Posted Feb 2, 2025
Every time UN's Ethan Strand (3:48.32) has stepped on the track this season, he has set a new NCAA record. Strand shattered Cooper Teare's NCAA record in the mile at the Boston University John Thomas Terrier Classic on Saturday. Strand ran the third-fastest indoor mile of all time. Strand is now the first college runner to post a sub 3:50 mile time. (GoHeels.com)
