Originally slated to run Friday evening, Beaumont did not allow the disrupted schedule to affect his performance Saturday afternoon as he lowered his personal record time by nearly three seconds to 8:53.48 to finish 18th in the field of 48.
"I think it's the smartest race I've had. I finished strong, so I think overall it's probably the best race I've ever had in my collegiate career," Beaumont said. "If anything, I benefited (from the schedule change) because that is something Coach (Williams) and I talked about. The more that goes on, the better for me, because no matter what I'm pretty calm and collected for any situation. It wouldn't matter what they did; I'd run well."
"Jack ran a fantastic race," assistant coach Kevin Williams said. "It matters when you can run your best this time of the year when everyone's very tired and the conditions are really hot. To break the school record with the pressure on and race like that was really a tremendous job."
The men's 4x100 consisting of Tobias Walker, Davonye Jones, Jared Johnson and Karlington Anunagba picked up their postponed race a day later to run a 40.32 and finish 22nd.
The women's 4x100 quad of Monica Johnson, Lyric Choice, Macy Burnham and Aneesa Scott concluded in 18th with a time of 45.48 seconds.
Before the weather postponement Friday, Karl Sralla was 35th in discus with a throw of 52.63 meters.
The 2021 Mean Green track and field season is finished for all but Michael Gonzalez, who will contend for a national championship in pole vault June 10th in Eugene, Oregon.
