Multis Highlight Individual Efforts to Open Indoor Season

Multis Highlight Individual Efforts to Open Indoor Season

Seven members of Tiffin track & field were in action last weekend at a pair of meets in Kansas and Ohio, with multis Cameron Burrows and Jazilee Williams highlighting great performances to open the 2019-20 indoor campaign.

At the Boo Rogers Combined Events meet in Pittsburg, Kan., Burrows shone with two NCAA automatic qualifying marks and another NCAA provisional mark. During the heptathlon, the senior achieved the top high jump mark in the nation for all divisions from the opening weekend of the indoor season with a jump of 2.19m (7' 2.25"), which is an automatic qualifying mark and also breaks his own Tiffin program record. Overall in the heptathlon, he totaled enough points for an automatic qualifying mark with a score of 5381. In the long jump portion, he also earned a provisional mark with a leap of 7.24m (23' 9"). Burrows finished third overall at the meet in the heptathlon.

Williams also had a great showing at the Boo Rogers meet, taking seventh out of 15 competitors in the pentathlon with a score of 3433 points, a total that is good enough for an NCAA provisional qualifying mark. Her top finish out of the five events was in the high jump, where she took fourth with a jump of 1.64m (5' 4.50").

The Dragons also had five distance runners competing at Youngstown State's YSU Icebreaker meet in Nathaniel Ondracek, Josh Jaster, Nicholas Runco, Chloe Will, and Holly Cole.

Ondracek and Runco both competed in the 3000m run, with Ondracek taking fourth with a time of 8:58.32 and Runco finishing ninth in 9:36.13. Jaster ran in the 5000m run, placing seventh with a time of 15:32.44.

On the women's side, Will and Cole both raced in the 5000m run, with Will taking 13th (19:59.16) and Cole finishing 15th (20:08.71).

The Tiffin track & field squads will get the season officially in full swing this Saturday when the Dragons host the Tiffin Alumni Open in the Heminger Center.
