Princeton men’s assistant track and field coach and New Jersey’s very own Robby Andrews, made the University proud this morning at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The coach and professional runner is famed for his kick and for being the 400th U.S. man to break four minutes in the one-mile event at Penn Relays in 2013. In June, Andrews placed second in the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in the men’s 1500m to qualify for the Games with a time of 3:34.88, just behind world champion Matthew Centrowitz. Ben Blankenship was the third U.S. male to qualify for this event.
This morning at 9:40 a.m. EDT, Andrews, Centrowitz, and Blankenship once again lined up with some of the world’s best middle-distance runners. Andrews ran in the second heat, while Centrowitz ran in the first and Blankenship in the third. Placing third in his heat and 27th overall, Andrew represented his country and the University with a fantastic performance. He has qualified for the next round of the semifinals, which is set to take place on Thursday, August 18, at 7:45 p.m. EDT.
