INDOOR TRACK & FIELD

The HU indoor track and field program took the majority of their athletes to the Steemer Showcase hosted by Wittenburg University on Saturday while a handful of throwers stayed local to compete in Taylor’s Trojan Invite.

Erica Xayarath had another solid weekend of competition by hitting an A standard in long jump with her winning leap of 5.72 meters. She also finished tied for third with teammate Josey Reineman in high jump where they both reached a mark of 1.64 meters.

Malarie Pinwar also punched her ticket to nationals with a B standard in the mile by clocking in at 5:07.57 which proves the eighth fastest time in HU history. The Foresters dominated the 1000 meters with Emily Tedder taking first in 3:02.84. Pinwar was on her heels for second in 3:03.41 while Mackenzie Brewer turned in a fourth place finish in 3:08.16.

Aanyah Wright highlighted the Taylor meet with her first place finish in weight throw with a heave of 14.64 meters.

On the men’s side, Austin Liepe hit a provisional mark in the mile by clocking in at 4:16.41 good for fourth place at the meet and the third fastest mile by a Forester. He added another top five finish in the 1000 meters where he posted a 2:39.89.

Zach Collins sprinted his way to second in the 400 meters in 48.08. He then teamed up with Sam Handerson, Corbin Till and Grady Martin to win the 4×200 meter relay in 1:29.60. Till also earned a spot in the HU record books at #9 in the 200 meters by clocking in at 23.17.
