SDSU men win three relays at Cobber Open
MOORHEAD, Minn. -- South Dakota State runners captured three relay titles to highlight a successful day for the Jackrabbit men's indoor track and field team Saturday at the Cobber Open.
The Jackrabbits set two records on the day, including smashing a school record in the 4x200-meter relay. The team of Zach Wirth, JaRon Harris, Jordan Paula and Justin Horn combined for a time of 1 minute, 31.86 seconds to win the event and break the previous school record by six seconds.
Wirth also was part of an Olson Forum arena record in the shuttle hurdle relay, teaming with Nick Schanaman, Ryan Dump and Andrew Duitsman for a time of 31.60 seconds. Schanaman added an individual title in the 55-meter hurdles, clocking a winning time of 7.73 seconds.
SDSU's final relay victory came in the 4x800-meter relay, where two Jackrabbit teams were separated by .03 seconds. The team of Joe Roby, Nick Hibma, Matt Small and Josh Klawitter won the race in 8:42.65, while the quartet of Matt Heiser, Brad Heyne, Todd Vlieger and Adam Blankenfeld came in with a time of 8:42.68.
Heiser added an individual victory in the 1,000-meter run, while freshman Jared Bienlien contributed a pair of runner-up finishes in the distance events. Bienlien placed second in the mile run with a time of 4:30.85, and was second in the 3,000-meter run in 9:14.05.
Jackrabbit head coach Rod DeHaven competed in the 5,000-meter run, clocking a winning time of 15:10.57, more than a minute over his nearest competitor.
In the field events, Cameron Johnson posted the top finish by a Jackrabbit with a runner-up leap of 21 feet, 11 3/4 inches in the long jump.
The Jackrabbits return to action Feb. 4 with athletes competing at the Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb., and the MSU Invitational in Mankato, Minn.
