The Tigers saw three school records go down Sunday, in addition to two MIAA champions, six All-MIAA performances and six provisional marks on the weekend. FHSU picked up 86 team points to place fifth, matching its best-ever finish at the indoor MIAA championships.

Matthew Pieper<\/a> opened the day with a come-from-behind victory in the heptathlon. The senior compiled 5,258 points over the seven events, breaking his own program record by 32 points. He was in third place with two events remaining, but climbed into the lead after clearing the second-best height in the pole vault (14-1.25) and running the second-best time in the 1,000m (2:46.72). Pieper’s total of 5,258 points is also the facility record inside Washburn’s Indoor Athletic Facility.

Ethan Lang<\/a> broke the school record in the program record in the program record in the 600y run after winning the race in 1:10.91. It was Lang’s second All-MIAA honor in the race after placing third a year ago. The sophomore’s time is also a new facility record.

Pieper and Lang teamed up with Jack Pakkebier<\/a> and Kaden Wren<\/a> to break another school record at the end of the day, combining for a time of 3:16.62 in the 4x400m relay, one-hundredth of a second faster than the previous record. The team placed fifth in the race.

Aaron Mangan<\/a> finished second and earned All-MIAA honors in the 800m run finals, running a personal-best time of 1:52.86. The time is an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark.

Philip Landrum<\/a> earned a pair of All-MIAA honors after placing third in both the 60m finals and the 200m finals. The junior posted a time of 6.87 to start the day in the 60m dash while crossing the line in 21.66 later in the afternoon in the 200m dash.
