At Sound Running's "Track Meet," James Young continued his impressive 2021 campaign, coming away the winner of his heat in the 1500m under the lights on May 15.

Challenging NCAA Division I competitors and Olympics hopefuls, Young delivered a time of 3:38.31 for the third-fastest mark in NCAA Division II history behind David Ribich's record (3:37.35) and Young's own personal record of 3:37.72 which he set earlier this season at the Bryan Clay Invitational.

"It was a good race," Young said. "Coming into this season, my goal was just to break 3:40 and I did that for the first time at Bryan Clay so now I'm happy I can back it up. As everyone, I was hoping for a personal best, but I'm just happy to keep it consistent and I'm glad that the training is starting to pay off."
