Chadron State College track and field athletes dominated a number of events Saturday during the Bauer Open Meet at South Dakota Mines in Rapid City on Friday and Saturday.
Besides the Eagles, Montana State-Billings, Rocky Mountain and Black Hills State joined the host Hardrockers in the competition.
The Eagles won 12 events, beginning on Friday, when Shane Collins and Dan Reynolds finished one-two, respectively, in the hammer throw with marks of 195-2 ¼ and 191-1 ¾. None of the other 20 entries reached 172 feet.
Chadron State men also were first and second in the shot put, where Reynolds was the winner with a throw of 48-5 ¼ and Parker Gosner was the runner-up at 47-6 ½. Quest Savery won the javelin at 191-3 and Collins was second in the discus at 149-9 ¾ and Gonser placed third at 147-8 ½.
Eagles swept the top three places in both the triple and high jumps. Derrick Nwagwu led the triple jumpers by going 49-2 ½, Brock Voth was second at 47-8 and Joss Linse was third at 44-8 ½. In the high jump, Joe Dumsa, Hector Otega and Alec Penfield, placed in that order after each of cleared 6-4 ¾ despite the strong winds that prevailed throughout of the meet.
Ishmael DePaullite was second for CSC in the long jump with a mark of 21-6.
On the track, Eagles swept the first six places in the 100 meters, although as of late Saturday night the results had not been posted. Coach Riley Northrup put all of his top sprinters in the race to help him decide who will make up the 4×100 relay team the remainder of the season.
A photo of the race showed that Morgan Fawver was first, followed apparently by Brodie Roden and Estabon Bozeman. Since the race was run with the west wind at their backs, the times are expected to have been extra fast if and when they are made available.
Otherwise on the track, CSC’s Osiel Cano won the 400 hurdles in 56.75 seconds and Greg Logsdon was second in the 400 dash in 50.39, just one-hundreths of a second behind the winner, Ethan Pitlink of South Dakota Mines.
CSC women won five events, three of them by true freshmen. Caydince Groth won the 400 in 1:01.74, Alissa Wiemer captured the 400 in 5:03.81 and Danae Rader won 100 hurdles in 15:61.
In a situation similar to the men’s high jump, CSC’s Jourdaine Cerenil and Hunter Wiebelhaus were the only women to clear 5-3 and placed first and second, respectively.
A foursome made up of Carlie Collier, Michaela Hill, Groth and Shantae Morgan won the 4×100 relay in 48.95 seconds. It was the only relay the Eagles entered Saturday.
Collier had a career-best time of 12.13 seconds in the 100 dash, but Breanna Fuller of Black Hills State timed in 12.12 seconds to claim first place.
