Collegians were at it again in Boston.
And by “at it again,” we mean running all-time marks.
From The USTFCCCA InfoZone: Meets & Results | Records & Lists
No effort stood out more than Ethan Strand‘s 3:48.32 clocking in the mile, which shattered the collegiate record and made him the third fastest man in world history in the event. Only Yomif Kejelcha and Yared Nuguse are ahead of him on the all-time list at 3:47.01 and 3:47.06, respectively.
Strand, collegiate records and the BU Track & Tennis Center have gone hand-in-hand-in-hand this season. Back in December, Strand annihilated the collegiate record in the 3000 meters with his 7:30.15.
And if that wasn’t enough…
Meghan Hunter of BYU and Makayla Paige of North Carolina cracked the all-time top-10 of the 800 meters on Friday, while Victoria Bossong of Harvard barely missed that echelon. Hunter went 2:00.21 to move up to No. 5 on the all-time chart with Paige not far behind in 2:00.57 for No. 6. Bossong went 2:00.79 for 11th on the all-time chart, nearly pushing out former CR-holder Nicole Cook of Tennessee fame (Cook held the CR at 2:00.75 from 2005 to 2017 before Jazmine Fray of Texas A&M demoted it to second-best). Cook’s luck couldn’t transfer to 2017 The Bowerman winner Raevyn Rogers, who fell out of the top-10 to No. 12.
The distances got longer in the meet and produced yet more top performances by collegians.
Riley Chamberlain of BYU followed Hunter’s lead and cracked the all-time top-5 in the mile. Chamberlain stopped the clock at 4:26.19 to become the fifth fastest woman in collegiate history. The mile has been a strong event for collegians thus far in 2025, as reigning M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week Wilma Nielsen ran 4:25.89 on January 25 to put herself at No. 3 behind Katelyn Tuohy and Maia Ramsden.
In the 3000, Amy Bunnage of Stanford and Kimberley May of Providence moved to Nos. 6 and 7 all-time with clockings of 8:43.82 and 8:44.73, respectively.
In the 5000, BYU’s Lexy Halladay-Lowry joined the sub-15 club at 14:57.63, making her the No. 4 collegian all-time.
