Ethan Strand and Parker Wolfe run their way into the history books

Imagine a pair of teammates breaking the same NCAA record in the same race?

Well, Ethan Strand and Parker Wolfe did just that.

To open the indoor track season on December 7 at the Sharon Colyer-Danville Season Opener, the Tar Heel duo shattered the previous NCAA 3000 Meter Record. Strand's finish set a new collegiate record in the race, beating the previous record by six seconds. Wolfe's second place finish also broke the prior record that was held before Strand.

Both Strand and Wolfe have accomplished a ton during their time thus far in Chapel Hill, but how cool of a milestone is this one for them to share?
