CLAREMONT, Calif. -- Men's track and field did not have its full complement of runners this past Saturday at the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Carl Rossi Relays, but did not stop Vanguard from having some good results. The men's 4x800m relay team of
Isaiah Feaver,
Cooper Anderson,
Evan Hernandez, and
Josiah Kirby placed 10th with a time of 8:15.90, about one second behind Biola's crew. The distance medley squad of Anderson, Kirby,
Caleb Dickerson, and
Cohen Swift placed 10th with a mark of 11:09.74, two seconds behind CalTech.
Ommar Arroyo set a personal best time of 9:13.50 (43rd) in the 3,000m race, pacing the group of VU runners that included
Jesse O'Campo (9:19.96),
Anthony Kennen (9:29.27), and Hernandez (9:30.52).
Zachary Velasco flew to a fifth-place result in the high jump, as the freshman cleared 1.84m, and then a 24th-place finish in the long jump, where he tallied a 5.66m leap.
What was Said? "Our men had another solid day of competition led by Ommar's personal best in the 3,000m," relayed Head Coach
Bryan Wilkins. "Our team continues to impress me with their support of one another. We had several athletes who did not compete today, but they were all around the track avidly cheering on their teammates throughout the eight hours of competition."
