Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
Collegiate Record For BYU’s Andersen
June 13, 2003
It wasn’t until the final water jump that Kassi Andersen of BYU took the lead in the steeplechase at the 2003 NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships.
Andersen’s sprint to the finish not only gave her a seemingly easy victory, but her time of 9:44.95 set a new meet and collegiate record.
Though the steeplechase was a new event for Andersen, it came in an event where success was nothing new to BYU – Elizabeth Jackson (2001) and Michaela Mannova (2002) had done the same thing for the Cougars in the NCAA’s first two women’s editions of the event.
