STANFORD, Calif.—University of Southern Indiana men's track and field senior All-American
Dustin Emerick and junior
Michael Jordan recorded provisional qualifying times in the 5,000 meters Friday night at the Stanford University Invitational.
Emerick was sixth in section three of the event with a strong NCAA II provisional time of 14 minutes, 4.34 seconds, while Jordan was 15th in section four of the 5,000 meters with an NCAA II provisional time of 14 minutes, 26.28 seconds.
Jordan's performance marks the second time since last Saturday that the cross country All-American has recorded an NCAA II qualifying mark. He broke USI's school-record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase last Saturday at the Washington University Invitational when he crossed the finish line with an NCAA II automatic time of eight minutes, 55.16 seconds.
Emerick, the school-record holder in the 10,000 meters, moves into third all-time at USI in the 5,000 meters with his effort Friday night. His time was just over four seconds shy of an automatic qualifying mark.
The Screaming Eagles, who are ranked No. 23 in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association Top 25 computer rankings, return to action April 14 when they travel to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to compete at the Hilltopper Relays.
