The highlight of the day on the men's side came from junior

For the women, the relay team of
Madeline Schultz,
Laura Vernon,
Amanda Miller, and

Clardy, the first-year from Kittanning, Pennsylvania also took third place in the 400-meter dash, crossing the line in 59.89 seconds.
Seth Wimberly equaled Clardy's finish for the Oberlin men. Wimberly stopped the clock at 50.35 seconds, which also gave the Yeomen third place.
Also performing well for Oberlin was
Stephen Williams who battled the elements to finish second in the 3000-meter steeplechase, finishing in 9:46.25.
Head Coach
Ray Appenheimer said, “Both our teams really competed hard today. Unfortunately despite the sunshine, it was pretty windy here and difficult to post a really good time or distance.”
Oberlin will hope for some better conditions when they host Wooster in a dual meet Friday, April 16th. Oberlin will also compete in the All-Ohio Championships Saturday, April 17th at 10 a.m.
