The Emporia State women’s sprint medley relay team finished third at the Drake Relays, highlighting Saturday’s action for the ESU track and field team.
The group — made up of Lynnsey Nichols, Jaclyn Sill, Kara Euler and Jonel Rossbach — posted a time of 3:59.42, which was the top Division-II mark.
Brooke Kent replaced Rossbach in the women’s 400-meter relay, joining with Nichols, Sill and Euler to help the team take fifth with a time of 47.74 seconds. That time was just .24 seconds from a provisional-qualifying time.
At the UMKC Invitational, the Hornets took a 1-2-3 sweep in the men’s shot put.
Damon Birk’s provisionally qualifying mark of 52 feet, 6.75 inches was good enough for first. Trent Olivier finished second (49 feet, 8.5 inches), while Corey Jones was third (48 feet, 5.25 inches).
Olivier also won the discus, throwing 162 feet, 10 inches, which earned a provisional qualification.
Other winners included Dustin Andrews in the high jump (6 feet, 8 inches) and Stephanie Grote in the women’s discus (128 feet).
Matt Koeling also posted runner-up marks in the long jump (21 feet, 5.5 inches) and triple jump (46 feet, 3.5 inches).
ESU will travel to Hays on Saturday for the main portion of the MIAA Championships.
