On the weekend of March 10 the Loggers Track and Field team came out and performed well at the Joe Peyton Invitational. Named after the legendary coach Joe Peyton, Puget Sound's former track coach who led over 50 students to all-American honors and NAIA Hall of fame member, the event hosted Lewis & Clark and Seattle Pacific.
Many Loggers performed very well in the Invitational. In the first two running events of the day, juniors Brittany Hodgson and Trevor Hanlin won the men's and women's 3000m Steeplechase with impressive grace and fashion. What's more, freshman Caitlin McGrain came just shy of first and clinched a valiant second place in the Women's 300m hurdle with a time of 15.95 seconds. The men's and women's 400m Relay teams both finished in second place. The races came down to the hair and were terribly exciting.
Junior Pete Van Sant had another strong outing with a third place finish in the Men's 400m dash with a time of 51.42. Van Sant consistently runs with power and authority and although he finished in third place, he ran like a champion. Sophomore Isaac Blum finished in third place for the men's 100m dash with a time of 11.29 seconds, and finished third in the 200m dash with a time of 23.12.
In the throwing events, junior A.J. Middleton finished second place in the shotput with a throw of 48 feet, 4.5 inches and sophomore Greg Bailey finished second in the hammer throw with a distance of 141 feet, 7 inches.
The jumping event was also characterized by second place as senior Brian Kramer with a distance of 43 feet, 5 inches finished second in the triple jump.
The Loggers had a strong outing as they clinched placements in a variety of events. The Loggers show determination and discipline to improve even more and perform at a championship level in their next event on March 23 at 2 p.m. at the University of Puget Sound.
