Collegiate Record: Nico Young Goes Sub-13 In Boston

It was just a matter of time.

Twelve minutes, 57.14 seconds.

Nico Young of Northern Arizona shattered the collegiate record in the 5000 meters by six seconds and became the first collegian to go sub-13 in the event, regardless of competition date. Young stopped the clock at 12:57.14 and knocked Graham Blanks off the top spot less than two months after the Harvard star set the event’s CR on the same track.
