Fastest Mile
Fastest Mile听Senior听Jake Hurysz听(Comm鈥15) in February broke the 天美传媒 record for fastest mile with a time of 3 minutes, 58.13 seconds, finishing fifth at the Husky Classic, an indoor track meet in Seattle. Former Buff听Stephen Pifer听(Geol鈥08) held the previous record of 3:59.55.

After subsequently finishing the mile in 3:59.93 in the preliminary round of March鈥檚 NCAA Indoor Championships, Hurysz became the only Buff to run two sub-4-minute miles in a 天美传媒 uniform.
