Men's Track & Field Finishes Fourth at SCAC Championships

ABILENE, Texas -- The LeTourneau men's track and field team finished fourth at the SCAC Championships with 110.5 team points after Sunday's finale.

LeTourneau had four men combine for six All-SCAC honors, and more than doubled last year's team point total of 56 (fifth).

Host McMurry successfully defended its conference title, finishing first with 152 points.

Calvin Mason was once again LeTourneau's top point scorer for the meet, making up 26 of the YellowJackets' points. Mason added a second-place finish in the discus on Sunday with a mark of 46.84 meters (153' 8").

After garnering three in this weekend's meet, Mason now has six career All-SCAC honors.

Andrew Cockrill rounded out the meet with his first career All-SCAC nod, adding eight points via a second-place finish in the pole vault with a personal-best height reached of 4.44 meters (14' 6.75").

Colton Fears (3.94 meters, 12' 11") and Cooper Hooks (3.79 meters, 12' 5.25") also scored points in the pole vault. Fears rounded out his career with a fourth-place finish for five points, and Hooks added 2.5 points, finishing sixth.

The Jackets' 4x100-meter relay team set a program record with its fourth-place time of 41.60. Abdiel Rincon, Xander Nabors, Ryker Gorrell, and Jean-Michel Ndiaye made up the relay team that gave LeTourneau five points.

The first LeTourneau points scored on Sunday came from Elijah Oudyn in the 5,000-meter, securing two points in the senior's final meet with his seventh-place finish (15:50.92).

Grayson Gaddis gave LeTourneau two points when he finished seventh in the 1500-meter (4:06.78), and Xavier Davila added four points, finishing fifth in the 800-meter run (1:57.40).

The YellowJackets added four more points via relay, this time in the 4x400-meter. Rincon, Ndiaye, Davila, and Nick Ercole ran a season-best time of 3:26.10, finishing fifth.

LeTourneau's hurdle success rounds out the points scored on Sunday. Nabors finished seventh in the 110-meter hurdles finals with a time of 15.56 for two points. Chris Morelli (57.28) and Justin Lindberg (57.52) both ran personal-best times in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

There were three other personal bests set on Sunday outside of the scorers. Ryan Tally ran a 16:33.33 in the 5,000-meter, while Karter Brandenburger (36.90 meters, 121') and Mason Thompson (34.41 meters, 112' 10") saw theirs in the discus throw.
