The NCAC Relays on January 31st is a unique meet, in that every event is a relay. Along with traditional relays, like the 4x400 and sprint medley, there were several events where each school could enter two or more athletes in an event, and those athletes were scored as a relay team.
The Gators showed up firing on all cylinders. In the first running event of the day, Ryan Hanson and Chris Marker both ran new PR's in the 5,000 to win the relay in a time of 30:27.52, breaking the old meet record by 3.57 seconds. Pete Sotherland and Cedric Gamble went 1-2 to dominate the pole vault relay. The future looks strong on the women's side, as several underclassmen shone. Sophmores Emily Norton and Laura Heltman combined for first place in the triple jump relay and second place in the long jump relay. Freshman Lauren Butler broke the 40' barrier for the first time to win the shot put.
The next meet will be a Friday evening meet at Baldwin-Wallace on February 6th.
