 Posted March 25, 2006 By: Sam McCarthy, Assistant Sports Information Director Capital Fares Well Against Top Competition; Three Crusaders Finish Second in Jumping Events CAPITAL RESULTS | COMPLETE RESULTS (WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.) – Capital University's track & field team made the trek to Winston Salem, N.C. this weekend to compete at the Wake Forest Open hosted by Wake Forest University and put up a good showing against top-notch competition. The Crusaders were one of many teams at the Open that included Division I teams in Wake Forest, Duke, Davidson and Miami (Ohio). Three different Crusaders had second-place finishes in their respective jumping events, including sophomore Abby Skoda (Ashland/Ashland) in the high jump (5-01.75), freshman Lizzy Stanton (Cincinnati/Withrow International) in the long jump (17-01.25) and junior Syl Eddy (Columbus/Bishop Ready) in the triple jump (43-00.50). Stanton also turned in a solid performance in the triple jump, finishing fourth with a mark of 33-03.75. Senior Brad Armstrong (Urbana/Urbana) broke his own hammer throw school-record for the second straight week with a toss of 126-05 feet and finished eighth overall. Capital's sprinters also had an excellent weekend, propelled by junior Jeremy Mulkey's (Dublin/Dublin Coffman) 100-meter dash time of 10.81 seconds. Mulkey finished fifth overall in the 100 and his time provisionally qualified him for the NCAA Championships. Both the men's and women's 4x100 meter relay teams came in third, with the men finishing ahead of three DI teams and only behind the winner Wake Forest by one second. Juniors Charlie Smith (Westerville/Big Walnut) and Trent Hinton (Columbus/Whetstone), freshman T.J. Scott (Olmsted Township/Olmsted Falls) and Mulkey comprised the men's team with a time of 42.68, while the women's team of freshmen Tana Myers (Ashland/Mapleton) and Amanda Damsel (Westerville/Westerville South), along with Stanton and Skoda cruised in with a time of 50.87. Damsel's time of 27.32 seconds in the 200-meter dash also qualified her for the Ohio Athletic Conference championships in May. Freshman Liz Ramsey (North Canton/Hoover) nearly broke the school-record and came in fifth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:00.44. Capital will make the short trip to Otterbein next weekend for the OAC Quad meet on Saturday in Westerville. |
