FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Sophomore Riley Wells concluded his second outdoor campaign at Illinois State while senior Cole Maguire wrapped up his career as a Redbird on day three of the NCAA West Preliminary Round.
In the 800m run, Wells finished as the first runner out of qualification for the NCAA Championships. His time of 1:47.89 was the 12th-fastest in the field, as he finished fifth in heat one. Although Wells ran a faster time than Oregon's Luis Peralta, the Duck earned the auto-bid, as he finished third in heat three at 1:47.
