MARYVILLE, Mo. – Fort Hays State Men’s Track and Field competed at the Northwest Open, January 24-25. The Tigers had six individuals claim top three finishes in events, while Ryan Stanley<\/a> and Mark Faber<\/a> posted provisional marks in the pole vault.

Second-place finishers for the Tigers included Justin Moore<\/a> (5,000 meters), Ethan Lang<\/a> (600 Yards), and the distance medley relay team of Guillaume Plagneux<\/a>, Lang, Aaron Mangan<\/a>, and Caleb Carrasco<\/a>. Third-place finishes went to Robbie Schmidt<\/a> (5,000 meters), Mangan (800 meters), and Stanley (pole vault).

Moore covered the 5,000 in 15:08.88, while Schmidt followed in 15:11.30. Shawn Kiptoo of Iowa Western Community College had the winning pace of 15:02.04. The distance medley team posted a time of 10:18.58, only behind Missouri Southern (9:56.42).

Lang covered the 600 yards in a time of 1:13.43, just over a second behind the winner Michael Garrison of Ottawa University. Mangan ran a time of 1:55.25 in the 800 meters, less than two seconds behind the winning pace of 1:53.65 by Collin Webber of Pittsburg State.

Though they finished third and sixth among the competition, Stanley and Faber posted provisional marks in the pole vault.
