Chelsea Drum Ran the Fifth-Best 5K Time in Ole Miss History
AZUSA, Calif. – Ole Miss track & field sophomores Chelsea Drum and Ylvi Traxler led off a busy weekend for the Rebels across the country with two all-time top-10 performances in the 5K at the Bryan Clay Invite late Thursday night.
Drum won Heat Three of the women's 5K at a time of 16:27.66, the fifth-best time in school history in her first career 5K race outdoors that also puts her No. 30 on the NCAA East Region descending list entering this weekend. Traxler finished fourth in the same heat at the No. 8 time in Ole Miss history at 16:34.07 – the 38th-best time in the East.
Also competing in the 5K were Brooke Gilmore (17:35.89) and Emma McClellan (17:38.92) in Heat Four.
Ole Miss received a handful of solid performances in the 3000-meter steeplechase as well. Senior and school record holder Shelby Brown clocked her first steeple time of the season at 10:35.83, while freshman Morgan Claire Rose ran the 10th-best time in Ole Miss history at 11:11.23. In the men's steeple, reigning SEC Freshman of the Week Dalton Hengst clocked the 12th-best time in Ole Miss history at 9:21.56.
The Rebels will compete in three meets on Friday, beginning with the War Eagle Invite at Auburn at 2 p.m. CT, and followed by the Bryan Clay Invite at 3:55 p.m. CT and the Mt. SAC Relays at 9:25 p.m. CT.
