If it's a meet day, then it's another day for Ashland University senior
Trevor Bassitt to add to his nationals provisional list, jump to No. 1 in NCAA Division II in an event, and turn in one of the best times in the world.
In the case of Friday (Jan. 28) night at the University of Kentucky Rod McCravy Memorial Meet, Bassitt's time of 20.89 seconds in the men's 200-meter dash was good for second place, but more importantly, it is his third provisional mark of the winter for the 2022 NCAA Division II Championships (March 11-12 in Pittsburg, Kan.), is the best in the nation, and is tied for ninth in the world this indoor campaign.
WHAT HAPPENED
- Also at Kentucky, sophomore Doniven Jackson earned a new provisional time in the men's 200 dash, finishing 13th in 21.69 seconds.
- The first day of the Findlay Alumni Classic on Friday saw senior Brent Fairbanks and sophomore Noah Koch finish 1-2 in the Elite men's weight throw (Fairbanks 20.89 meters/68-feet-6½, Koch 18.95 meters/62-feet-2¼).
