STANFORD, Calif. – The Wisconsin men's track and field team opened its outdoor season with a stellar showing in the 10,000 meters at the Stanford Invitational on Friday night.
All four Badgers that competed in the 25-lap race set personal bests, led by sophomore Zack Snider, who finished 11th in 29 minutes, 15.73 seconds. It marked a 32-second improvement from his previous best of 29:48.36 that earned him fifth at the 2017 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Close behind Snider was fellow sophomore Ben Eidenschink, who placed 14th in 29:17.42 and junior Tyson Miehe, who took 19th in 29:18.97. Eidenschink broke his previous best by more than 40 seconds while Miehe shaved more than 80 seconds from his old PR.
Zack Benning ran well in his first collegiate 10K, crossing the line in 29:42.11 to finish 25th.
Up Next
The rest of the Badgers will open their outdoor season on Saturday in San Diego at the UC-San Diego Invite. Field events start at 1 p.m. with running events to follow at 2 p.m.
