OUTDOOR TRACK & FIELD

The Huntington outdoor track and field program made the short trip to North Manchester on Saturday to compete in the Manchester University Invitational. Roark’s crew was the only NAIA school represented at the meet.

It was a day well spent as the Foresters brought home five first place finishes and four athletes found their way into the HU record books.

Emily Tedder ran to a first place finish in the 1500 meters in 4:40.04. Malarie Pinwar was on her heels to finish second with her time of 4:40.39 proving the seventh fastest time in HU history. MacKenzie Brewer took first in the steeplechase in 12:07.58 which landed her the seventh spot in the Huntington record books.

Alyeska Linsley won the 5000 meets in 18:43.59 and Josey Reineman took first in high jump with a leap of 1.60 meters.

On the men’s side, Reece Gibson topped the field in the 5000 meters with a new PR time of 15:13.12. Sam Handerson’s third place time of 11.00 in the 100 meters is the eighth fastest time in Forester history. Austin Liepe turned in the fifth fastest time in HU program history in the 1500 meters with his time of 3:58.27 which was good for second place at the meet.

Next up for Huntington is the Tiffin Track Carnival on April 12-13.
