SEATTLE, Wash. – Adrian Diaz-Lopez broke Wichita State's six-year-old 3,000-meter school record by 13 seconds among a stacked field Friday at the Husky Classic at the Dempsey Indoor Track.
"What a great race," distance coach Kirk Hunter said. "What a fabulous performance. Unbelievable."
After a series of plan changes over the last two weeks, Diaz-Lopez showcased his adaptability, trusted his coaches and calmed his nerves to run a 7:54.36 in the biggest meet of his life.
"I was really, really nervous, but when I got to the track, the nerves just started to go away," Diaz-Lopez said.
