Giblin Shines in Debut as Colonels Wrap Up Weekend Action

BOSTON /LOUISVILLE - The EKU track and field teams finished a pair of meets on Saturday at the PNC Lenny Lyles Classic hosted by Louisville and the John Thomas Terrier Classic at Boston University.
 
The highlight of the day came from Bradley Giblin in Louisville. Making his Colonel debut, Giblin ran a 3:56.29 mile time, finishing second at the meet, with the 20th fastest time in the NCAA this season.
 
With the impressive time, Giblin becomes just the third Colonel all-time to run a sub-four-minute mile.
 
In the men's 5,000m, Tomas and German Vega finished fifth and sixth in 14:28.05 and 14:37.78, respectively, with teammate James Ndayishimiye in ninth at 14:43.64.
 
Matt See led all Colonels in the men's shot put with a throw of 16.23m (53-3.0), just six tenths of an inch shy of a personal best, and the fifth best indoor mark in program history.

In Boston, Kristian Imroth finished 20th in the men's 3,000m race in a time of 7:56.00, less than half a second off a personal-best and top-five time all-time for EKU.
 
EKU will return to action on February 13 at the Centre College Indoor Invite.
