Hall breaks own school record record, rises in world rankings

Senior sprinter Elijah Hall left his mark on the track & field world Saturday as he broke his own school record while simultaneously running the fifth fastest time in the world.

Competing in the Charlie Thomas Invitational at Texas A&M, Hall won the men’s 200m dash with a time of 20.51s. His time, a meet record, broke his own personal best and school record time of 20.71s. His time is No. 5 in the world and No. 4 in the NCAA.

Two times are better than Hall’s after adjustment due to elevation. Three times overall are better than Hall’s in the NCAA.
