This time was almost two seconds faster than the 6:45.91 mark set by Stanford back in 2017. The NCAA record was not…

If you stop by our Reddit page there is discussion of potential alternatives. I apologize for this mess, I thought we had an understanding about keeping the game going, but I guess not.
