A large indoor meet was no problem for several Fort Hays State University indoor track athletes recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 63 Tigers competed in Lawrence on Friday. The Jayhawk Classic Invitational resulted in six gold medals and nine provisional marks for the Fort Hays team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regan Hodsden brought the first gold in the morning session\u2019s 3,000-meter run in 10 minutes, 30 hundredths of a second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just wanted to run a good time and compete today,\u201d Hodsden said. \u201cThis is my first meet coming off a knee injury, so I needed a good time and got that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1-mile morning session, Lucas Cisneros finished first for the Tigers with a time of 4:31.55. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got out a little slow and wished my time was a little faster. But at the end of the day, a win is a win and that feels good,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a third gold, Reba Mader ran a 1:37.68 in the 600-meter run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRunning that far can be kind of hard for a sprinter,\u201d Mader said \u201cIt\u2019s always a nice feeling to get a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaret Pfizenmaier was determined to finish at the top of the 3,000-meter run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI knew I wanted to get out fast and lead with a 4:35 mile pace,\u201d Pfizenmaier said. \u201cMy pace was a little slow at the mile, so I tried to kick it in. I wasn\u2019t going to let a KU kid beat me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pfizenmaier finished with a time of 8:48.91.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulling through on top of the 400-meter dash in the evening session was Hayden Albright in a time of 49.17 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe win feels pretty great,\u201d Albright said. \u201cIt was my first 400 in the season, so I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect. Overall, I\u2019m pretty pleased with my performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 800-meter run evening race, with a time of 1:53.28, Trevor Medina walked away with the first-place medal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine provisional marks were hit by Mattie Rossi in the 60-meter hurdles (8.67 seconds), Lyric Holman in the 60-meter (7.61) and 200-meter dashes (25.26), Philip Landrum in the 60-meter dash (6.86), Hodsden in the 3,000-meter, Albright in the 400 dash, both Trever Medina (1:53.28) and Aaron Mangan (1:53.73) in the 800, and Ryan Stanley in pole vault (5.16 meters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team has only three meets left before the MIAA Conference meet and four before nationals. The team will compete Friday and Saturday at Washburn University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
