Watch Andres Arroyo Run 1:45.78, Olympic 800m Standard
Andres Arroyo's 1:45.78 800m performance at the Florida Relays added another name to the list of NCAA athletes with the 2016 Olympic standard.

The pace went out in a quick 51.2 led by U.S. 400m star David Verberg. Eventual winner Wesley Vazquez and Arroyo were close before Verburg stepped off the track at the 500m mark. Penn State All-American Brannon Kidder and freshman Big 10 champion Isaiah Harris were in hot pursuit, but could not pass 22-year-old Vazquez, who won the contest in 1:44.75, and Arroyo, who dipped under the 1:46 barrier for the first time.

We caught up with Arroyo after the race, who said he has had his mind on hitting the Olympic standard since last August.
