KEARNEY, Neb. – The Fort Hays State men’s track and field team recorded one NCAA Division II provisional mark and took home first place in three events at Saturday’s UNK Charlie Foster Classic (Jan. 30).
Ryan Stanley again took home first place in the pole vault, clearing a season-best 16-7.25 and improving his provisional mark in the process. Stanley currently sits in sixth on the national performance chart after winning the pole vault competition for the third time in three tries this season.
Philip Landrum placed first in the 60m dash, crossing the line in 7.00. He later finished fourth in the 400m dash with a time of 53.10.
Freshman Asher Molina won the 3,000m run with a time of 8:53.40 in his first time running the event at the collegiate level.
The Tigers had a trio of second-place finishes in field events, including Lucas Broxterman in the high jump (6-6.00), Matthew Pieper in the long jump (21-10.75) and Mark Faber in the pole vault (15-7.25).
Cole Diffenbaugh placed third in the 60m dash with a time of 7.25, while Trever Medina was third in the 800m run after crossing the line in 1:56.74, less than four seconds off the provisional pace.
The Tigers are scheduled to return to action next weekend at Wichita State’s Herm Wilson Invitational (Feb. 4-5). Multis will open the weekend on Friday before the rest of the squad competes on Saturday.
