Huber Picks Up All-American Honors in Long Jump; Speicher Advances to Finals in 1,500

Meet Results
BRADENTON, Fla. — Minnesota State University Moorhead sophomore Brian Huber picked up the second All-American honor of his collegiate career on Thursday with a collegiate-best fifth-place finish in the long jump at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Junior Brady Speicher advanced to the finals in the 1,500-meter run during the preliminaries of that event on Thursday as well.

Huber, who was All-American indoors in the long jump, recorded a  jump of 25-0 1/2 to finish in fifth. He jumped a 22-11 3/4 on his first attempt, and followed with a 24-0 1/4 in his second. His third attempt proved to be his best in 25-0 1/2 (7.63 meters).

The 25-0 1/2 by Huber was just 1/4 inch away from a personal-best and the outdoor school record of 25-0 3/4 he set at the Masanz Classic in May 2015.

Indoors, Huber was All-American in the long jump with a sixth-place finish in March. He has now competed at three national meets in his Dragon career.

Speicher had a strong showing in the 1,500-meter prelims, recording the fifth-fastest time of 3:50.15, which included leading much of the race. Marc Antoine-Rouleau won the second heat, which Speicher competed in, in 3:49.32 in a closely-contested race.

Speicher will compete in the 1,500 finals at 4:35 p.m. Central time on Saturday. The top eight in each event earn All-American.
