TIFFIN, Ohio - Tiffin men's track & field continued their dominance of the GMAC on Saturday, claiming their third conference title in three tries since joining a year ago after taking both the indoor and outdoor championships in 2019.
Tiffin scored 214 total points during the two-day event, finishing well ahead of second-place Findlay with 121 points. Hillsdale took third with 79.5 points, followed by Malone with 77 points and Walsh with 72 points to round out the top five.
The No. 3-ranked Dragons added 13 more medals on Day Two after taking five on Day One to finish with 18 total during the meet, distributed among six golds, seven silvers, and five bronze medals.
Cameron Burrows took home Men's Field Athlete of the Meet honors, winning the high jump with a clearance of 2.10 meters that is tied for sixth-best in GMAC history. The senior also took third in the pole vault (4.41 meters) on Saturday after finishing first in the long jump on Friday.
Joshua Page was named the Men's Freshman of the Meet, finishing second in the 400m with a time of 48.58 seconds and third in the 200m dash with a time of 22.42 seconds.
Collin Jasin had an exceptional showing in the pole vault, clearing a career-best 5.00 meters that moves him into fourth all-time at Tiffin. The mark also improves his previous NCAA provisional qualifying height significantly and could earn the sophomore a trip to nationals when the full qualifying lists are announced on Tuesday.
Tiffin swept the shot put medals, led by Jabari Bennett's new PR of 19.21 meters that could potentially enter the NCAA Championships as the second-best mark only to teammate Nikolas Curtiss. Curtiss finished second on Saturday with a mark of 18.72 meters, while Eric Jackson took third with a throw of 17.70 meters.
Jonte Baker won the 60m dash final with ease in 6.71 seconds, besting the second-place finisher by two-tenths of a second. The mark is the sixth-best time in GMAC history, with Baker holding nine of the 10 best times. Baker also placed fifth in the 200m dash in 22.49 seconds.
Errik Snell equaled his PR in the 60m hurdles, taking gold in the event with a time of 8.02 seconds. Tiffin also earned a silver medal in the event, with Lenell Shelby III upping his provisional qualifying time to 8.10 seconds.
Jaelin Williams took home silver in the triple jump with a leap of 13.93 meters, a season-best mark for the sophomore.
The Dragons earned the bronze in the 4x400m Relay, finishing with a time of 3:23.74.
Tiffin now awaits the official qualifier lists from the NCAA that are scheduled to be released on Tuesday to find out how many Dragons will be attending the 2020 Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Ala. on March 13-14.
