Expat De Heer - 29:59 at Mt Sac!

At Princeton:
Hanson came close to  Wiggy's 1500 record by half a second, finishing in 3:54.82 at Princeton's Larry Ellis Invitational Friday night.
Jason Myers hits 4:06.03 Saturday afternoon, equivalent to about a two second PR when converted to 1600m.

UPDATE: this corrects an early version in which De Heer's time was reported as 30:02. Mt Sac has since corrected its results.

This is a breakthrough race for the former GRC standout.
