STANFORD, Calif./LA JOLLA, Calif. - North Dakota distance runner Jadyn Keeler made headlines in the opening moments of Saturday in the central time zone, breaking the 10,000-meter school record and setting a new Canadian U23 record nationally. Earlier on Friday, the Fighting Hawks took part in four meets and ended the day with three school records.

In the final minutes of Friday in the central time zone, Keeler finished fourth in her section of the 10,000 meters at Stanford and completely obliterated the school record with a time of 32:06.70. She shattered the record of Yonca Kutluk, who set it at 32:57.85 at the Stanford Invitational last year. Keeler's time currently ranks No. 5 in the NCAA this season.

Keeler's time not only made UND history but also made waves nationally. Her time now ranks No. 17 all-time in the NCAA in the 10,000 meters and broke the Canadian U23 national record time. The previous U23 record time nationally by a Canadian was 32:32.61, which was set by Gracelyn Larkin of Ontario at the 2023 Stanford Invitational.

Along with Keeler's history-making performance, the North Dakota distance squad broke three school records and posted six improvements to the UND top-10 list at Stanford.
