Three years replaced from a 9th place finish in 2019, the squad has done nothing but improved. The Quakers beat fifth place Otterbein by 30 points and finished behind first place and hosts Mount Union, followed by John Carrol and Ohio Northern.

 

The throw squad had themself another dominating day with three finishers in the top eight in shot put. Blake Jamison led the group with a second place and All-OAC throw of 49' 6.25".

Freshman JJ Durr followed up a podium finish yesterday with a sixth-place toss of 47' 2.25". Justin Shuga, also a freshman, rounded out the top eight with a seventh-place heave of 46' 5.25".

 

Brady Vilvens finished off his freshman indoor season in a big way with two top eight finishes. Vilvens got the scoring started on day two with a seventh-place jump of 41' 10.75" in triple jump, and followed up the performance with a tie for fourth place in high jump clearing 6' 2.75".

 

Simon Heys cleaned up the rest of the individual points scored by the Quakers with a second place and All-OAC finish in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:19.42.
