The Villanova men's DMR ran 9:31.52, a half second short of the 9:31.00 NCAA automatic qualifier, in heat #2 of the Alex Wilson Invitational at Notre Dame. The quartet finished fourth in their heat, and fourth overall over two heats. Notre Dame and Wisconsin punched their tickets to the NCAA nationals, running 9:29.72 and 9:30.86 respectively, and brought the number of automatic qualifiers nationally to 6 teams (with BYU, Indiana, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma). Arkansas finished third overall tonight at Notre Dame, in 9:31.48. Villanova was next, coming home in 9:31.52. The men split this way:
Brian Tetreault (1200 meters): 2:57
Bryan Murphy (400 meters): 47.9
Sam Ellison (800 meters): 1:48.7
Sam McEntee (1600 meters): 3:57
Tonight's 9:31.52 places Villanova at #9 in the NCAA this season. Normally, 10 or 11 teams are selected to participate at the NCAA indoor championships; therefore, despite missing the automatic qualifier, Villanova may indeed get an invite. If so, lots of the credit should go to Sam McEntee who came from way back in the anchor tonight to finish fourth in the heat. He split 3:57.
