The Emporia State men’s four-mile relay team placed sixth, providing the best Hornet performance on the second day of the Kansas Relays.
The team of Michael Stephens, Skyler Delmott, Jonathan Heinicke and Eric Wellman finished the four-mile event in a time of 18:19.30.
Kara Euler finished 11th in the 400-meter run (57.18 seconds), while teammate Jaclyn Sill was right behind her in 17th (58.30 seconds).
Trent Olivier and Damon Birk gave near identical performances in the shot put. Olivier’s throw of 51 feet, 5.75 inches earned him 15th, while Birk’s toss of 51 feet, 5.5 inches took 16th.
Other top-20 performances came from the women’s 4X100 relay team (15th; 47.99 seconds), Connie Philips in the javelin (16th; 119 feet, 10 inches) and Jennifer Robinson in the high jump (19th; 5 feet, 3 inches).
All-American Andy Vogelsberg did not compete Friday. Instead, he will save himself up for next week’s Drake Relays, where he will attempt to win his third consecutive javelin championship.
ESU was set to resume competition at the Relays this morning at 10:50 with the women’s spring medley relay.
