Of special note: In winning the 800, Ben Steeves set a new League record, besting the time (1:56.00) previously held by his current coach, Mike Burleson. Steeves broke the same record in the indoor season. And believe it or not, 2017 is actually Steeves’s first season on the outdoor track team; in previous springs, he’s played lacrosse.
