BEREA, Ohio -- The John Carroll University Men's Track & Field team entered the day as the No. 6 team in Division III in the US Track and Field Coach's Association Rankings. It would be hard to imagine they do not move into the top five after today's success in Berea, Ohio. The team faced Baldwin Wallace and Heidelberg, and was victorious, finishing with a team score of 196.

After a week of rest, Garrett Clark won both of his events today. He ran the 500m for the first time and won his race against two other JCU runners. He also ran the 55m dash with a time of 6.47 seconds in the prelims, and the final in 6.49 seconds, outlasting Deven Ward.

Mick Doyle finished third in the 500m, fourth in the 55m dash, and ended his day with a win in the 200m dash. Bobby Fogle had a solid day as well, finishing second in the 500m.

Andrew Miner had a stellar day in the mile, winning the race with a PR of 4:27.73 time. Freshman Matt Costanzo placed fourth in the race as well. Fellow freshman Cormac Peppard-Kramer won his first race of his career in the 1000m, beating Jake Darby by 10 seconds in second place, and John Shoemaker who came in third. James Mangan won the 800m, besting Connor McIntyre by three seconds.

Zach Szafarski continues to lead the team in the throws, winning the shot put this week. He also placed second in the weight throw. Deven Ward won the long jump today as well, with a PR of 6.83 meters.

The Blue Streaks won every track event today, and won most of the field events. The team also had 17 new Personal Records on Sunday.

Next week the team is traveling for an OAC meet in Alliance, Ohio against Mount Union and Baldwin Wallace. Follow along at jcusports.com and @jcusports on Twitter.
