NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – The Westminster men's and women's outdoor track and field teams combined for five first-places finishes at their home invitational on Saturday.
"Typically this is our dress rehearsal for PACs, but with the weather we had to adjust," said head coach
Tim McNeil. "We decided to work more on training and getting healthy. Even though we shifted focus we still had some great performances. Joe Kurelowech won the pole vault, Bre Davis was outstanding today in 100 hurdles and high jump. Jake Patton had a great comeback meet doing great in the javelin and pole vault, and we had a fantastic performance in the men's 4x400 with Jake Musselman, Jake Patton,
Ryan Beard, and
Shamar Love. Overall we made the most out of crazy weather day."
