DELAWARE/WESTERVILLE, Ohio – It was a busy weekend for the Wittenberg men’s and women’s track and field teams, but it was a productive 24 hours as well.

The Tigers competed in the non-scoring OWU Open at Ohio Wesleyan on Friday, and then some of the team’s top student-athletes measured themselves against the best competition in the state at the All-Ohio Indoor Championships at Otterbein on Saturday. The Tiger women placed 16^th in the 18-team field, while the Tiger men finished 10^th.

More important than the team point totals, there were numerous individual highlights. Most notable were a pair of school records achieved at the All-Ohio Indoor.

Sophomore Justin Yates (Dayton, Ohio/Bellbrook) posted a program-best mark of 49.68 in the 400 meters to take second place against an outstanding field. His time is the 11^th best in all of NCAA Division III midway through the 2013 indoor campaign.

A short time later, another school record fell as the quartet of junior Chris Frierson (Cedar Hill, Texas/DeSoto), freshman Asanka Ekanayake (Clarksburg, Mo./Clarksburg), freshman Laike Wallace (Washington Court House, Ohio/Washington Court House) and Yates turned the trick in the 4x400 meter relay. En route to a first-place finish, the four sprinters crossed the finish line in a program-best time of 3:24.66, which ranks 29^th nationally.

In addition, sophomore Adam Kapuscinski (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore) claimed fourth place in the 800 meters.

On the women’s side, freshman Brea Medlock (Galena, Ohio/Big Walnut) continued to enjoy success, placing eighth in the 200-meter dash and fourth in the 400-meter dash. She also scored points with a seventh-place finish in the 4x200-meter relay, where she was joined by senior Shawna Johnson (Uhrichsville, Ohio/Claymont), freshman Jordan Crow (North Las Vegas, Nev./Palo Verde) and junior Vanessa Ladd (Columbus, Ohio/Marion Franklin).

On Friday, the top individual finishes for the men was supplied by junior Wade Westbrook (Columbus, Ohio/Whetstone) in the mile run and junior Sean Redfield (Fredonia, NY/Fredonia) took third in the 3,000-meter run. For the women, freshman Becah Delp (York, Pa./Eastern York) hit the tape in second place in the 200-meter dash, junior Ashley Milliner (Beachwood, Ohio/Beachwood) took third in the 60-meter dash, freshman Megan Bittinger (Cincinnati, Ohio/Cincinnati Christian) won the 400-meter dash and junior Shannon Kelleher (Hilliard, Ohio/Darby) picked up a fourth-place finish in the 3,000-meter run. Also of note, Delp and junior Angela Roll (Dublin, Ohio/Scioto) tied for first place in the high jump, Delp took second in the triple jump and junior Cara Vendeville (Perry, Ohio/Perry) was the top finisher in the long jump.
