Runners break records

The men’s and women’s track and field teams have been busy breaking records and claiming new honors.

On April 27, at the Hillsdale Relays, sophomore Sarah Adelaine broke the school record in hammer throw with a mark of 168’03”. The mark was good enough for fourth place.

On May 4, at the Central Michigan Collegiate, junior Sherita Williams finished first in the long jump. Her mark of 20’ 1/2” broke the school record in the long jump.

On May 5, at the 17th annual Jesse Owens Classic in Columbus, Ohio, freshman Michelle Rzepka broke another school record. Her 11’07 3/4” mark in the pole vault earned her a fifth-place finish.

While the men’s team didn’t break any school records of late, it did claim two All-Americans.

Senior Paul Terek and sophomore Steve Manz were honored for the second consecutive year.
