“Saruni’s just a talented runner, there’s no hiding that, everyone knows that now. He went, I tried to go with him, and he just had a little bit more. But I’m proud of my effort, I gave it my all out there.”
-Isaiah Harris.
Both Danae Rivers and Isaiah Harris brought home All-American honors from the NCAA Indoor Championships.
7th  | Danae RIVERS | SO | Penn State | 2:04.20 |
| 2nd | Isaiah HARRIS | JR | Penn State | 1:46.08 |
From LetsRun.com:
Harris ran an indoor PR of 1:46.08 today to take second and he can hang his head high in defeat. He was the only guy to hang with Michael Saruni once the UTEP star made his winning move and hung on for a clear second place.
We feel bad for Harris. He was 2nd at USAs last year and made the semis at Worlds, but he has yet to win an NCAA title. Why? Well just look at the list of guys who have won the title since he’s been in college:
2016 indoors: Clayton Murphy
2016 outdoors: Donavan Brazier
2017 indoors: Emmanuel Korir
2017 outdoors: Emmanuel Korir
2018 indoors: Michael Saruni
So if you’re keeping track, that’s an Olympic medallist/1:42 guy, the NCAA record holder, a 1:43 guy (who was the world leader in 2017), and Saruni, who is the second-fastest collegian ever indoors. Harris is only a junior, so he may well win a national title one day, but he happens to be competing at a time when the men’s 800 is totally stacked.Come meet the team and coaches at the Reunion and Coach Groves Golf Tourney in May.
