Matthew Endrödy ran the sixth-fastest outdoor 800m in program history to highlight four new 800m personal bests on the final day of competition for New Mexico Track & Field at the Stanford Invitational and Mike Fanelli Classic on Saturday.

SATURDAY'S PERFORMANCES

Men’s 800m (Stanford Section 3)
1. Matthew Endrödy - 1:47.93*
* Personal Best; No. 6 UNM Outdoor List

After making his 5K debut the night prior, Endrödy won his section of the 800m with a new personal best that ranks No. 6 among UNM athletes outdoors. He’s the first UNM athlete to break the 1:48 barrier in the 800m outdoors since Josh Kerr posted a 1:47.51 conversion at the 2017 MW Outdoor Championships.

That time will likely secure Endrödy an NCAA West Regional qualification – last year, the last mark to qualify was 1:48.43.

Women’s 800m (Stanford Section 6)
4. Kylie Feeney - 2:10.34*
* Outdoor Personal Best

Feeney ran the fastest outdoor 800m of her collegiate career to finish fourth in the sixth section at Stanford, clocking a 2:10.34.

9. Li-Mari Dekker - 2:08.72 (1st in Heat 5)*
11. Jasmine Wood - 2:09.02 (2nd in Heat 3)^

Five Lobo women competed in the 800m across the bay at San Francisco State, with Li-Mari Dekker (2:08.72) and Tilly Simpson (2:10.08) both running lifetime bests and Jasmine Wood (2:09.02) and Millie McClelland-Brooks (2:14.20) making their collegiate 800m debuts.

Men’s 800m (SF State)
9. Rhys Crawford - 1:51.42 (5th in Heat)*
