Tulsa's Patrick Dever recorded a sixth-place finish in the 5,000m run at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., on Friday night.
Dever clocked a time of 13:19.85, trailing National Champion Cooper Teare's time of 13:12.27 by 7.58 seconds.
"I think I was caring a little fatigue and the pace was pretty hard from the start, but I'm happy to get some points for the team," Dever said. "I tried to stay as relaxed as possible, and with the pace you couldn't make many surges. I tried to stay in the back of the group, but I picked up one or two positions in the last lap.
