In his first meet of the season, Shaquille Walker set the BYU indoor school record in the 800 meters with a time of 1:46.97 at the Washington Invitational on Saturday.
It was the kind of start to his All-American’s season that BYU coach Ed Eyestone was hoping for.
“We had some outstanding marks on the men’s side led by Shaquille who set a school record in the 800 meters,” Eyestone said. “He set the meet record last year, so he improved on that and also set the school record in the process. It was phenomenal and it’s going to be one of the top times in the country.
