WICHITA, Kan. – The Fort Hays State men’s track and field team broke one school record, posted three NCAA Division II provisional marks and won three events at the Herm Wilson Invitational hosted by Wichita State on Friday (Feb. 5).

Matthew Pieper<\/a> opened the day by shattering his own school record in the heptathlon, totaling an NCAA provisional total of 5,226 points. The senior improved his school record by 188 points after posting personal-best marks in four of the seven disciplines. Pieper placed third in the event and currently sits in fourth on the Division II national performance chart with a converted total of 5,250.

Jack Pakkebier<\/a> improved his PR in the heptathlon by 250 points, finishing fifth with a total of 4,559. Nolan Churchman<\/a> placed sixth in his first collegiate heptathlon with a total of 4,510 points.

Philip Landrum<\/a> recorded the second provisional mark of the day in the 60m dash, running the fastest preliminary time of 6.86. He placed second in the finals with a time of 6.88. Landrum went on to win the 200m dash with a time of 22.04.

Ryan Stanley<\/a> picked up his fourth pole vault victory in as many tries, placing first after clearing the 16-0.75 bar, another NCAA DII provisional mark.

Xavier Robinson<\/a> was the final event winner of the day for the Tigers, capturing first place in the long jump with a leap of 22-8.5. He also placed second in the triple jump after clearing 46-0.

A pair of middle-distance runners placed second for FHSU, including Ethan Lang<\/a> in the 800m run with a time of 1:55.08 and Grant Bradley<\/a> in the mile run after crossing the line in 4:17.67.

The 4x400m relay team of Pakkebier, Lang, Kaden Wren<\/a> and Pieper capped off the evening with a third-place finish thanks to a time of 3:21.25.
