JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Four members of the Boston University track & field team competed at the NCAA East First Rounds on Wednesday night at Hodges Stadium.
 
On top of the Jacksonville heat, athletes had to endure a weather delay of over four hours, meaning track events did not begin until 10 p.m.
 
Junior Parker Schneider's 1500m heat began around 10:30, and he concluded his season by placing 45^th with a time of 3:52.62. Schneider earned the 4^th spot on the Top 10 Terrier list this season with a 3:41.14 mark and took bronze at the Patriot League Championships in the event while also earning gold in the 4x800m.
 
In the following heat, sophomore Karsen Vesty posted a 3:42.40 time, finishing eighth in his heat and had the 22^nd-fastest preliminary time of the meet, but failed to qualify for the NCAA quarterfinal based on the race rules of five qualifiers from each heat plus the next four fastest times. He concludes his breakout 2025 campaign with a Patriot League silver medal in the 1500m, a gold medal in the 4x800m, and the third-fastest mark at BU in the 1500m of 3:40.21. Vesty also moved into fifth all-time at BU in the 800m with a 1:48.21 mark.
