Phillip & Dailey are one of just two combinations in D-III history to run under 14:10 in the same season.

By John Carroll Men's Track & Field standards, it was a light weekend for the Blue Streaks.

But despite the relatively light action, it was a good weekend for the Blue Streaks. John Carroll enjoyed nice action, especially on the distance side of things.

Here's what happened this weekend as the Blue Streaks prepped for the 2022 Ohio Athletic Conference Outdoor Championship next week.

Penn Relays
The Distance Duo did it again on Thursday.

At the prestigious Penn Relays in the 5000m, Alex Phillip and Jamie Dailey set the show on fire. Phillip raced to a time of 13:58.78. That ranks him first in all of NCAA Division III and eighth all-time in NCAA D-III history. He's just the second D-III runner ever to run under 14 minutes in both indoor and outdoor 5k races.

Dailey propelled himself to an outstanding time of 14:08.22. In addition to it being a major personal record, the time launched Dailey into third in Division III in the 5k.

Dailey & Phillip are one of just two combinations in D-III history to run under 14:10 in the same season.

Yes, Phillip and Dailey are set for the big stage.
