FROM HEAT TWO! 🔥👀 Bradley’s Kaden Kingsmith clocked a fantastic time of 1:47.42 over 800 meters to run the fastest time of the day at the Stanford Invite! Kingsmith’s teammate, Jamie Phillips, actually won the top section of the men’s 800 meters at the Stanford Invite, but settled for a time of 1:48.16 (800). In that same second heat, Louisville’s Ryan Farrell (1:47.50) and North Dakota State’s Kaleb Foltz (1:47.82) also ran faster than the top section, as did New Mexico’s Matthew Endrody (1:47.93) in the third heat.

At the 2025 version of the Stanford Invite, Phillips won the top section of the men’s 800 meters. However, teammate Matthew Burnett ended up running the fastest time of the day from heat three last year.

Kosgei's time of 30:49.99 also broke the former NCAA record and puts her at NCAA #2 all-time in the event. Eastern Kentucky's Edna Chelulei ran 31:33 (10k) for 3rd place while North Dakota's Jaydn Keeler clocked a time of 31:56 (10k) for 4th place.
