LA VERNE, Calif. - Jacob Pippel ran a 8:59.77 to become only the second member of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's track and field team to break nine minutes to highlight the performance of the Stags at multiple meets this week. 

Pippel moves into the No. 2 spot in CMS history in the steeplechase, behind only teammate Hayden Beauchemin, who ran an 8:56.77 on his way to a national qualification as a sophomore in 2024.

Meanwhile, at the Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa Pacific, Pierce Clark had another strong run in the 800 meters, less than a half-second off his PR with a 1:50.74. Diego Amescua came closer to the CMS top 10 in the pole vault with a new PR at La Verne with a clearance of 14'11".

Arnav Shetty was second in the 1500 meters at La Verne with a 3:56.61, with Rowan Haywood-O'Neill third and Matthew Jabro fourth. Aidan Cho was second in the shot put, Richard Burrow was fourth in the 800 meters and Aiden Owens was fifth in the 200 meters.
