Berry D-III era records and other school records fell Saturday as the men's indoor track & field team competed at the Bulldog Open, hosted by Samford University at the Birmingham Crossplex in Birmingham, Ala.
"It was the largest meet we had on our schedule and had over ten Division I schools, so it was our most competitive meet," BC head coach
Luke Syverson said. "The distance group had another great meet with a lot of PR's after focusing on training the last several weekends."
Highlights for the men's squad included:
- Cameron Bensley winning the 5000m Run in a new personal-best and Berry D-III era-best with a 14:56.16. Bensley's time was 10 seconds better than second-place and also was better than two D-I runners.
- Alden McDonald placed third in the Pole Vault with a new personal-best of 4.57m, the second-best indoor mark in school history.
- Mason Robinson set a new school indoor record in the Weight Throw with a distance of 15.16m on his final throw of the finals.
- Connor Cole broke his own school record in the 60m Hurdles with a run of 8.61s.
- Jahari Jones had a run of 22.37s in the 200m Run to move to second all-time in school indoor history.
Some Vikings will be back in action this Friday at South Carolina, while others will begin to focus on the outdoor season.
