Sheridan Wins New Balance Collegiate 5000
Edges Closer to NCAA Auto Qualifier

Ryan Sheridan dipped below the 14:00 barrier for the first time in his career on Friday, winning the collegiate 5000 meter run at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational at the Armory. His time of 13:56.43 brought him both an 8-second win over Kevin Burnett of Texas A&M as well as a top-10 NCAA time this season. Sheridan, a 2009 All-American at 5000 meters outdoors, needs a 13:44.60 to qualify automatically for the NCAA indoor championship meet. His race Friday bettered his 5000 meter time from two weeks ago, when he ran 14:18.66 at the Great Dane Classic at this same venue. Matt Kane finished 6th in 14:29.03.

Ellison Takes 500 meter Dash in Quick 1:01.92

In other action, Sam Ellison turned back competitors from sprint-happy LSU and Baylor in winning the 500 meter dash. His 1:01.92 time, a PR, is a Big East qualifier, and Ellison is now qualified in the 500, 800, and 1000 meters at the Big East indoor championships.
