Men's Results l Women's Results

Gambier, Ohio – Junior Shawn Chrapczynski set a new school record to highlight the day for Oberlin at the NCAC Indoor Pentathlon.

Chrapczynski, a native of neighboring Lorain, Ohio, totaled 3,105 points on the day and was just two points back of Andrew Diehl of Ohio Wesleyan who won the event with 3,107 total tallies. Nonetheless, Chrapczynski still picked up eight critical team points for the Yeomen which will go a long way in determining their finish at the NCAC Championships next week.

The pentathlon consisted of one athlete competing in the 1,000 meters, 55-meter hurdles, high jump, long jump and shot put. Chrapczynski's best performances came in the long jump, which he won with a mark of 21-01.50, and the 1,000 meters where he paced second in 2:51.12.

“This was a great way to kickoff the conference championships,” Head Coach Ray Appenheimer said. “Shawn was just awesome today and he truly displayed his great athletic ability.”

Vlad Bursac also competed for the Yeomen and placed 11th overall with 2,139 points.

The senior tandem of Amanda Miller and Laura Vernon competed for the Yeowomen and totaled three team points. Miller placed seventh overall with 2,527 points while Vernon was one spot back with 2,365 points.

The females competed in the same events as the men with just one exception. They ran the 800 meters instead of the 1,000 meters. Ironically that is where the tandem did the most damage. Vernon took the top spot in the event in 2:24.08, while Miller was right on her tail at 2:24.40. Miller also won the shot put with a toss of 32-06.25.

All four of these athletes will play a big role in the NCAC Championships next weekend at the friendly confines of the John W. Heisman Field House.
