Lenape graduate Shelby Whetstone ran the 3rd-fastest 600 in Rutgers history Friday at the Scarlet Knights Open at the Armory.
Whetstone ran 1:32.17 and finished 3rd behind two post-graduate runners – Jordan Shead, who ran 1:29.18, and Reanda Richards, who ran 1:32.02.
On the all-time Rutgers list, the only faster women at 600 meters are school record holder Denise Peynado, who ran 1:29.53 at the AIAW Championships in Columbia, Md., in 1980, and Richards, who ran 1:30.23, in 2020 at the Meyo Invitational in South Bend, Ind.
Whetstone’s previous PR over 600 meters was 1:35.03 at the same meet at the Armory last February.
Whetstone’s indoor 800 PR of 2:09.77 is No. on the all-time Rutgers list.
