Shocker Brew: 7/14: Persevere or "Parrish"

Jason Parrish's showing in the 400-meter hurdles back in May was named the AAC Men's Outdoor Track Most Outstanding Performance, and the hardware is here!

Good morning, Shocker Nation. ICYMI! Wichita State's Jason Parrish's showing in the 400-meter hurdles back in May was named the AAC Men's Outdoor Track Most Outstanding Performance. And, alas, the hardware is here!
 
The sophomore from Olathe, Kan. ran a lifetime-best time of 49.17 to win the 400-meter hurdles at the AAC Outdoor Championships, upsetting UTSA's Hugo Menin.
 
His time set a new AAC Outdoor Championships meet record and Irwin Belk Track and Field Center facility record. He also moved to the top of the Wichita State record books, setting a new school record, and now ranks No. 1 in the AAC.
