FARMINGTON, Utah (February 10, 2020) – After clocking the fourth-fastest indoor mile time in the country on Saturday, Northern Arizona track & field senior
Geordie Beamish was named the Big Sky Men's Track Athlete of the Week on Monday by the conference office.
Beamish's personal-best indoor mile time of 3:56.90 at the 113th NYRR Millrose Games on Saturday earned him his second conference Athlete of the Week award this season.
Beamish placed sixth overall in the historic Wanamaker Mile and closed with the second-fastest 400m split (56.69) among his competitors. His final quarter-mile pushed him up from ninth to his final finish of sixth and past two decorated professional runners – Filip Ingebrigtsen and Eric Jenkins.
His time of 3:56.90 shattered his previous lifetime best by almost 10 seconds and currently ranks fourth in the country this indoor season as he begins to gear up for next month's NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. where Beamish will look to defend his individual national championship in the mile.
