MEN'S RESULTS | WOMEN'S RESULTS

(DELAWARE, Ohio)--Capital University's track & field teams contined a strong Spring as men placed third out of 11 teams and women fourth out of 12 teams Friday at the Marv Frye Inviational in Delaware, Ohio.

With inclement weather most of the afternoon and evening including a one-hour lightning delay that caused the cancellation of the 4x400 meter relay, the Crusader men scored 87 points leaving them 12.5 points behind second-place and meet host Ohio Wesleyan University (99.5). Wilmington College took the event title with 124 points. Baldwin-Wallace College claimed the women's title with 164 points, while Capital scored 77.5 points in fourth place, 19.5 points clear of fifth place Thiel (Pa.) College.

For the Capital men it was a team effort as 10 different Crusaders placed among top three in eight different events. Trent Hinton (Columbus/Whetstone) led the way placing second in the 200 meters (22.16) then joining with Charlie Smith (Westerville/Big Walnut), T.J. Scott (Olmsted Township/Olmsted Falls) and Jeremy Mulkey (Dublin/Dublin Coffman) to finish second in the 4x100m relay (42.30).

Second place finishes also went to Adam Fausnaugh (Asheville/Teays Valley) in the shot put (44-8.75) and Gerald Bailey (Cincinnati/Princeton) in the long jump (21-7.25). Rounding out the top finishes were third places from Nate Thornhill (Xenia/Xenia) in the 100m hurdles (15.21), Matt Cesaratto (Seven Hills/Normandy) in the 400m hurdles (57.04), Evan Hartman (Mt. Gilead/Mt. Gilead) in the high jump (6-2) and Syl Eddy (Columbus/Bishop Ready) in the triple jump (41-11.5).

Joining Basinger on the 4x100m relay were Abby Skoda (Ashland/Ashland), Amanda Damsel (Westerville/Westerville South) and Lizzy Stanton (Cincinnati/Withrow International). A pair of school records were set by a pair of freshmen as Liz Ramsey (North Canton/Hoover) claimed the mark in the 400m (1:00.11), while Shelly Gaines (Grove City/Central Crossing) set a new standard in the 3000m Steeplechase (12:16.01).
