...meter runs, respectively. In the field side of the competition, freshman Becky Christiensen won the high jump by clearing a height of 1.75 meters. On the men’s side of the competition, senior James Kelly and sophomore Ryan Hafer proved that the core of the Crimson’s strength on the oval is in its long distance runners, sweeping the top spots in the 5000 meter race. Kelly won the event by crossing the line in 5:10.09, while Hafer finished a ways behind him in second in 5:28.13. Freshman Derek Jones...
