(DELAWARE, Ohio)--A pair of provisional marks to NCAA Championships, a
school-record, a pair of event winners and an athlete scoring in five different
events highlighted the day the Capital University men's and women's track &
field teams had at the All-Ohio Championships at Ohio Wesleyan University in
Delaware.
The Capital men finished fourth, while the women placed seventh in the 21 team
field.
Jeremy Mulkey (Dublin/Dublin Coffman) finished fifth in the 100 meter
dash but his 10.77 time improved his NCAA Championship provisional mark.
Mulkey then combined with Desmond Taylor (Toledo/Toledo-St. John's), Trent
Hinton (Columbus/Whetstone) and Charlie Smith (Westerville/Big Walnut)
to post another NCAA Championship provisional mark and set a new school record
with a second place finish in the 4x100m relay (42.00).
Syl Eddy (Columbus/Bishop Ready) won the triple jump (44-8.75), while
second place finishes came in the high jump (6-4) by Evan Hartman (Mt.
Gilead/Mt. Gilead) and in the 110m hurdles (15.11) by Nate Thornhill
(Xenia/Xenia). Other top performances for the men included a pair of
third place finishes from Trent Hinton in the 200m (22.03) and Matt
Cesaratto (Seven Hills/Normandy) in the 400m hurdles (56.81).
Erica Basinger (West Jefferson/Worthington Kilbourne) scored in five
different events and was just one place off scoring in six to lead the Capital
women. Bassinger's day was headlined by a win in the 100 meters (12.56)
and a fourth in the long jump (16-9.75). She then helped the Crusaders
score points in a pair of relays. Basinger combined with Abby Skoda (Ashland/Ashland), Amanda
Damsel (Westerville/Westerville South) and Lizzy Stanton (Cincinnati/Withrow
International) in the 4x100 meter relay that finished third (49.54).
Basinger, Stanton, Liz
Ramsey (North Canton/Hoover) and Amanda Whitmer (Alexandria/Northridge)
placed fourth in the 4x400 meter relay (4:06.99).
Lizzy Stanton also finished fifth in the triple jump (34-9.75) to round
out the top finishes from the Capital women.
