Michalski provisionally qualified in a pair of events while competing at the Bryan Clay Invite at Azusa Pacific University.
 
The junior emerged with new conference records in both the 1,500-meter race and the 3K steeplechase. Michalski won the steeplechase with a field of 64 and beat out runners from Arkansas, Weber State, Boise State and Idaho, among others.
 
Michalski now possesses nine of the top-10 conference times in the 3K steeplechase as he bested his PR by nearly eight seconds with a time of 8:52.01.
 
In the 1,500-meter race, the native from Xenia, Ohio, finished 50th out of 269 with more Division I runners in the large field. Michalski was the previous record holder in the event and ran a time of 3:46.71 to break his old standard of 3:47.80.
 
His 1,500-meter time currently ranks 11th across Division II and the steeplechase time currently ranks fourth. He was less than a second away from meeting the auto-qualifying standard in the steeplechase.
