COLLEGE NOTEBOOK: Davidson does it again, runs fifth-best 800 in Utah State history

Hannah Davidson, Utah State Track & Field

After running the ninth-best mile time in Utah State history back in late January, Sandpoint’s Hannah Davidson has cracked the record books once again. At the Don Kirby Elite Invitational held Feb. 9-10 at the University of New Mexico, Davidson ran the fifth-best indoor 800-meter in Aggie history with a time of 2:10.32, almost a full second better than her previous best.

Davidson’s record-breaking 800 time was good enough for eighth out of 46 runners. Next up for Utah State is the Mountain West Indoor Track & Field Championships set to be held Feb. 22-24 at the University of New Mexico, where Davidson will look to continue to make history.

Connor Alexander, Lewis-Clark State College Track & Field

Bonners Ferry’s Connor Alexander continues to improve for the Warriors as the season progresses. After improving his 3000-meter time by six seconds three weeks ago at the Lauren McCluskey Invitational, Alexander broke his own personal best again, this time by three seconds after running a 9:00.36 at the 3rd Whitworth Invitational held Feb. 9-10 at The Podium in Spokane.

Alexander finished 34th amongst a stacked 60-runner field. Lewis-Clark State College returns to action this Saturday at the Eastern Oregon University Last Chance Invite.
