Freshman
Jason Zavislak may have found a new calling on the team in the javelin competition. He placed sixth in the event with a mark of 40.50 meter in his first ever collegiate competition in the event.
“Jason is usually a long jumper or triple jumper for us. He came through and did a great job in the javelin,” said head coach
Steve Kruse. “He found a new event to work on this season so I was real happy that he did well in that.”
J.J. Webber had a pair of career bests and seventh-place finishes in the 800-meter and 1500-meter events. He ran a 1:58.48 in the 800-meter and a 3:59.43 in the 1500-meter. Webber also teamed up with Brenden Chwalek, Matt Kincaid, and
Erik Tomczewski for an eighth-place finish and time of 3:39.49 in the 4x400-meter relay.
Ricky Harm ran a personal best in the 5000-meter with a time of 15:19.63. His 12
th-place finish impressed head coach
