Delaware, Ohio – A portion of the Oberlin College track and field squad traveled to the Ron Althoff Invitational hosted by Ohio Wesleyan University in hopes of punching a ticket to the 2015 NCAA Championships.
 
Junior Geno Arthur earned a commanding win in the men's 5,000-meters with a record-setting run. Arthur shattered the program record with a blistering time of 14:36.09 and beat the field by nearly 45 seconds.The mark currently puts him 23rd in the nation and close to the cutline for a national berth.
 
Senior Emma Lehmann registered a dominant victory of her own in the women's half of the 5,000-meters. Lehmann broke the tape at 17:56.48 for first, but it is still well outside the nation's top 50.
 
Senior Carey Lyons also bested the field in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase by nearly one minute, finishing in 10:57.59. She is currently 12th in the country with her 10:49.39 that she posted at the Bison Indoor Classic on April 11.
