In the men’s 5000-meters, both Philo Germano and Justyn Knight made the cut. Knight won his heat to get in with a time of 14:08.56 (ninth overall). Germano finished sixth in his heat but it was good for sixth overall, allowing him to get in with a time of 13:56.55.

Earlier in the day, Matt Moore qualified in the 110-meter hurdles by finishing third in his heat with a time of 13.97 seconds, good for 11th overall. Angelo Goss did not make the cut, clocking in at 14.42 seconds (21st overall).

Moore, Knight and Germano will join Colin Bennie (men’s 10k), Noah Affolder and Aidan Tooker (men’s 3000-meter steeplechase) as well as Paige Stoner (women’s 3000-meter steeplechase) in Eugene, Oregon, on June 6 for the NCAA Track Outdoor Championships.
