Hugo Beamish Ready for World University Games 5000

Hugo Beamish will compete for his native New Zealand Friday evening in the 5000 meter heats at the World University Games in Shenzhen, China. He carries into the meet a 5000 meter PR of 13:51.60, set at the Husky Classic in Seattle last indoor season (not the 14:05.25 listed below). Each heat has 16 competitors, with the top five finishers in each heat (and the next five fastest non-automatic qualifiers) advancing to the final. Shenzhen is 12 hours ahead of US east coast time, so Beamish's heat will be taking place at approximately 9:50 a.m. EDT. The meet is being live streamed here .

Here are the start lists:
