Ryan Thompson shattered his personal best in the 1,500-meter run by nearly five seconds to post a time of 3:52.13 at the Adidas Raleigh Relays that took place Friday and Saturday at North Carolina State University. The mark is just off the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 3:51.68 and is less than two seconds off the SRU record of 3:50.38, set by Morgan Elliott in 2014. Thompson finished second in his heat and 17th overall in a field of 86 runners. He finished ahead of athletes from the likes of Michigan State, Duke, Harvard, North Carolina State, Kentucky and Boston College.
