Jeremy Gathright continued his dominance in the men’s triple jump, winning the event with a mark of 14.41 meters; it was his best mark of the season. McPherson’s Andrew Asuncion took second-place with a mark of 13.04 meters.
Jason Robbs won the men’s hammer throw with a mark of 57.16 meters. The next closest mark was at 52.59 meters by Dave Ramirez of Bethany College (Kan.).
Aubree Gustin won the women’s javelin for the second-consecutive week with a mark of 42.36 meters and JaBryanna Wellington took home gold in the 400-meter dash with a time of 59.21.
The women’s 4x100 and 4x400 meter relay teams also took home gold medals with respective times of 51.59 and 4:08.73.
“In our second week outdoor, the weather was much better and we had some of our athletes put together some better times and marks,” said head coach Zach Kindler. “With Hannon’s win in the 110-meter hurdles he automatically qualified for the national meet and women’s javelin team had the only three participants in the finals on Saturday.”
