JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Northern Kentucky men's track & field team wrapped up the 2013 outdoor season at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships with a strong performance from senior
Brendan Chwalek.
Chwalek scored 11 points in the 5000-meter run and 3000-meter steeplechase. In the 5000, Chwalek finished a team-high fourth place with a 15:30.81 finish.
J.J. Webber was the next best NKU finisher at 16:04.83. Chwalek went on to place third in the steeplechase with a 19:13.31 finish, which was just 1.33 seconds off of his school-record time.
Jason Zavislak had a great outing in the javelin, placing second with a school-record throw of 54.45 meters. He was able to grab eight points in the event. Zavislak, along with
DeSherion McBroom,
Brady Holmer, and
Josh Miller, earned four points in the 4x100-meter relay with a fifth-place, 49.99 finish. Holmer teamed up with Matt Kincaid, Tyler Mowrey, and
Josh Makin to earn four points in the 4x400-meter relay. They finished fifth with a time of 3:47.92.
Josh Miller was on the cusp of scoring in shot put and the hammer throw but he did earn one point for the Norse in the discus. He finished eighth with a mark of 36.89 meters.
The Norse would finish the meet with 28 points, earning a sixth-place finish. They made a slight improvement of two points from the A-Sun Indoor Championships back in February. The Kennesaw State Owls won their fourth A-Sun outdoor championship behind the 47-points won by the event's MVP Andre Dorsey. The Owls finished with 259 points; followed by East Tennessee State with 202 and Lipscomb with 145.
With this meet coming to a close, the Norse have wrapped up the inaugural NCAA Division I season of men's track & field. A majority of the team will return to action in the fall during cross country season.
