Earlier in the day, Andy ran a 34.81 to qualify for the final, breaking a personal best and his own school record for the third time this season.

Andy will also be competing in the 4x200m final on Saturday at 3:15 p.m., after he anchored the Huskies to an eighth place finish of 1:30.33 in Thursday night's qualifying heat.
