CLEVELAND, Tenn. - For the second weekend in a row, the Viking have made their mark at Lee University.
Men's Highlights:
Connor Cole placed 3rd in the 110H with a lifetime PR of 15.02. The time breaks the Berry school record and is also currently ranked #1 in the SAA and the South Region
Jahari Jones placed 4th in both the 100m and 200m.
Bradshaw Lathbury placed 4th in the 5000m with a new lifetime PR of 14:32.55. The time is the fastest run by a Viking in the D3 era and the fastest time run by an SAA student-athlete in it's history. The time ranks #1 in the SAA so far this season by over 20 seconds
Ethan Smith place 3rd in the 1500m with a new lifetime PR of 3:56.20 which is the fastest time in the SAA so far this season
Alden McDonald and Connor Johnson placed 2nd and 6th in the Pole Vault on Friday
Dawson Livingston placed 2nd in the Hammer and 3rd in the Discus
Mason Robinson placed 3rd in the Hammer throw
Jackson Jorski placed 4th in the Javelin
Women's Highlights:
Anna Rose placed 4th in the 1500m with a lifetime PR of 4:45.33. That is the fastest time in the SAA by almost 10 seconds. She came back on Saturday to run a another lifetime PR of 2:20 in the 800m
Malysha Winston and Sadie Phillips placed 4th and 6th in the Hammer Throw
Cailin DeLeo placed 2nd in the Javelin Throw
Head Coach Luke Syverson on the weekend:
"Distance event group had a fantastic meet all around with lots of season bests and lifetime PR's in the 1500m, 800m, and 5k's. Anna and Bradshaw were definitely highlights but almost all of the other distance runners had great race efforts.
Connor Cole ran a near perfect hurdle race and that was great to watch and is well deserved.
While we competed well against the competition in most areas, we didn't measure up to our expectations against ourselves as it related to our goal times and marks.Â
Friday was challenging with cold and windy conditions with the wind not being favorable for fast times or our throwing and jumping events. Saturday was a little better. Looking forward to hosting our home meet this next weekend and competing at home in our last meet before the SAA championships."

The team will be back in action next weekend at home as they host the Berry Field Day Invitational and Multi's.
