EUGENE, Ore. – Former Tiger Track and Field standout Brett Meyer, the 2019 NCAA Division II outdoor national champion in the 1,500 meters and now an assistant coach for FHSU, placed seventh in the finals of the 1,500-meter run at the USA Track and Field Championships on Saturday (June 25).

Meyer was seeking a top-four finish in an attempt to qualify for the World Athletics Championships next month, but came up just a bit short in his late surge in the race to the seventh-place finish. He crossed the line in a time of 3:46.38, just .23 seconds behind the fourth-place finisher. He was only .52 seconds behind the winner Cooper Teare, who ran a time of 3:45.86. Teare, a two-time NCAA champion at the University of Oregon (DMR and 5,000m), was the only runner in the field under 3:46 as Meyer was among a cluster of runners from second through ninth place that finished all less than a second behind Teare.

The overall pace of the race was a bit slow to start, but Meyer covered the last 300 meters in 38.02 seconds. He had the third-fastest final 300 meters only behind the champion Teare (37.98) and third-place finisher Josh Thompson (37.84). Thompson was the fastest over the final 300m to gain six positions for his third-place finish. Meyer moved up four spots from 11th<\/sup> to seventh with his final surge.

Meyer began his professional career in the summer of 2019, immediately following his NCAA Division II national title in the 1,500m. He was a six-time All-America performer and eight-time MIAA champion during his collegiate days at FHSU. He was the only runner in the finals field that competed at an NCAA Division II school as all of the other runners were either former or current runners at NCAA Division I institutions.
