The BYU men’s distance medley relay team clocked the second-best time in the country this season on day one of the Columbia Challenge at The Armory Track.
The DMR team ran a 9:36.13 to finish in second place behind Oregon (9:31.87). The Cougars’ and the Ducks’ times gave them the current top-two times in the nation.
Senior Marcus Dickson started BYU off with a 2:57.29 in the 1,200m leg of the race before handing the baton off to senior Max Scheible, who ran the 400m leg in 47.60. Senior Abraham Alvarado received the baton from Scheible and ran the fastest time out of all the DMR teams in the 800m with a 1:47.
