However, BYU\u2019s Olympic steeplechaser, James Corrigan, came up short in his attempt to get back to nationals, which will be held in two weeks in Eugene, Oregon.<\/p>\n

Cutting, a junior from Wilsonville, Oregon, placed second in the 1,500 meter quarterfinals to Oregon\u2019s Simeon Birnbaum with a time of three minutes, 37.64 seconds. Birnbaum, the college record holder in the event (3:31.69), clocked in at 3:37.00 at John McDonnell Field, with temperatures hovering in the low 80s and 77% humidity.<\/p>\n

Hedengren, older brother of the great Jane Hedengren, turned in a time of 13:43.28, good enough for eighth place in the 5,000 meters, to advance. His teammate, Kitchen, also advanced with a time of 13:45.94.<\/p>\n

BYU\u2019s Creed Thompson was 17th and Noah Jenkins was 21st in the same event.<\/p>\n
