Bulldogs Excel at Two Different Meets

Drake track & field continues to rank amongst the conference's and region's best this indoor season.

The Drake track & field team split its athletes up this weekend at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Neb. and the Iowa State Classic at Lied Recreation Center in Ames, Iowa.
 
"I'm very pleased with the team and staff for being able to compete very well at two different locations," head coach Jay Koloseus said. "I always love to the Bulldogs climb the Valley and NCAA leader board even when we are separate sites."
 
Iowa State Classic (Feb. 4)
Isaac Basten won the men's mile with a time of 3:57.24, which ranks 16th in the nation so far this indoor season.
 
Anthony Barmes moved into second in the Drake men's indoor record book with a weight throw of 67-4 ¼ for his personal best and a third place finish.
 
Chinemerem Iwuagwu tossed a personal best of 49- 1 ¾ in the women's weight throw for 10th place while Centaine Noom-Duckworth was seventh (56-0).
 
Chandler Haight took fourth in the women's shot put (47-11 ¼) while Adam Phillips settled into sixth in the men's shot put (53-6 ¼).
 
Barbara Vrhovac just missed her PR with a time of 4:59.47 in the women's mile. Emilie Meyer claimed second in the women's 800m (2:12.53). Katherine Lawson demolished her previous 3000m PR by over 22 seconds finishing the race in 10:00.00.
 
Freshman Juan Trasobares was ninth in the men's 3000m crossing the finish line in 8:18.58 for a PR as he just missed the top-10 of Drake's indoor record book.
