AZUSA, Calif. – The Bryan Clay Invitational’s website greets its online visitors with a captivating phrase.
Graced by a backdrop of Southern California’s stunning Azusa foothills at Cougar Athletic Stadium over 2,200 miles away from Bowling Green, “the nation’s fastest and largest collegiate meet” provided a picturesque yet competitive site for Kylee Cubbison to attain another BGSU program record.
Under a setting Golden State sun on a cool Friday evening, the junior ran the fastest 1,500m time in school history (4:19.19) and placed 24th overall in the invite section of the event in a field of 142 runners.
The mark broke teammate Kailee Perry’srecord of 4:21.99 set in 2022 and was the fourth individual one set by Cubbison this track & field season (indoor mile/3,000m, outdoor 5,000m).
