Bassett posts PR & Olympic B Qual time….
From UP Athletics:
Redshirt junior Jared Bassett posted a U.S. Olympic Trials B qualifier time of 8:38.87 in the 3,000m steeplechase on Friday night at the USATF High Performance meet at Occidental College. Bassett took nine seconds off of his PR time which now stands as the third fastest in school history and the seventh best in the NCAA this season.
“Spectacular,” Portland head coach Rob Conner said. “The goal was an Olympic Trials qualifier and that time puts him squarely on the bubble. When we get home we will make some small adjustments to his training with a focus on placing at the NCAA Championships in three weeks.”
The Olympic Trials A standard time is 8:32, while the B standard is 8:45.
