The Miami University track and field program competed in three highly competitive meets this weekend; the Virginia Challenge, Stanford Twilight and the Jesse Owens Classic.
The majority of the RedHawks traveled to the Jesse Owens Classic hosted by Ohio State, while a trio of Miami’s top distance runners traveled to Stanford and a small squad of female throwers competed at Virginia.
At Stanford, senior distance standout Joe Stewart qualified for the NCAA East Regional in the 5,000m in 14:04.40, a personal best by ten seconds. This finish was good enough for eighth overall in a field of the top collegiate and post-collegiate runners in the country.
