Bluffton's Gist runs 14.89 in 110 hurdles at BW university meet
Bluffton University sophomore Desmond Gist (Detroit, Mich./Trenton) headed to Baldwin Wallace University on Friday, May 13, looking to put down a time that would qualify him for the 2022 Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 110 meter hurdles, his signature event.
After a spring filled with cold and rainy conditions, Gist had to adjust to sun and scorching heat while training for the event at George Finnie Stadium in Berea.
Gist placed 6th at the Harrison Barnes Twilight Meet with a time of 14.89.
Gist will prepare for the last chance meet at Mount Union on Thursday, May 19. Should he qualify for nationals, Gist would compete at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio, from May 26 through May 28.
