EUGENE, Ore. (6/8/22) – For the second consecutive season,
Bennett Pascoe has advanced to the 3000m steeplechase final at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships contested at historic Hayward Field.
Posting a season-best time of 8:34.93, Pascoe was fifth in heat two to automatically advance out of the semifinal. Pascoe will be joined by 11 other runners in the race that begins at 8:24 p.m. (CT) Friday on ESPN2.
Pascoe began in the back of the pack, but moved up to cruise to the finish without falling lower than sixth after the second full lap. He saved his best lap for last, posting a split of 1:05.63 over the final lap.
The first Arkansas State athlete to qualify in back-to-back NCAA Outdoor Championships since
Carter Shell in 2018 and 2019, Pascoe earned Second-Team All-American honors last season with an 11th place finish in the 3000m steeplechase.
