Gibney Fails to Advance to NCAA Mile Final



Matt Gibney finished 7th in his mile heat today, running 4:02.25. Gibney's heat was the faster of the two heats and both runners who qualified for the final on time were from the heat. However, finishing 7th doomed Gibney's chances as the top four finishers from each heat and the next two fastest times would qualify for the finals. Gibney is back in action tonight, as the lead-off 1200 leg of the men's DMR.

Here are the combined results.
