The Scots' Tarik Welch rounds the corner en route to a second-place run during Saturday's 400-meter comeptition.

The College of Wooster's home track & field meet on Saturday was scheduled to be a quadrangular, but due to the poor weather conditions, it turned into a dual with Ohio Wesleyan University being the only school able to travel to the Scot Center (fellow North Coast Athletic Conference foes Allegheny College and Kenyon College had been scheduled).

Wooster's teams faired well against Ohio Wesleyan, with the women winning four events in a competitive 97-58 setback against the defending North Coast Athletic Conference champions and the men fell by a similar score, 93-58, to the Battling Bishops, who are ranked nationally at No. 21.

The women's jumping events all went to the Fighting Scots, with freshman Katie Cameron landing first in the long jump (15 feet, 1.5 inches), Jocelyn Lion doing the same in the triple jump (31 feet, 6.75 inches), and in the high jump, Kendra Shehy, Amy French, and Hilary Coady all cleared 4 feet, 10.25 inches for a 1-2-3 Wooster finish. Shehy gained first-place honors with the least number of fouls.

On the track, the Scots notched an impressive victory in the 4x400-meter relay, as Ashley Huddson, Edith Anderson, Coady, and Lauren Buyan outraced Ohio Wesleyan 4:15.42 to 4:17.25. Individually, Anderson was runner-up in the 400 meters (1:02.03), as was Paris Nahas in the 60-meter sprint (8.44).

During the men's competition, Wooster stood out in the distance events. Blake Pecoraro, Gabriel Abud, and Luke Hutchings-Goetz formed a top-three finish in the mile with respective times of 4:41.12, 4:42.47, and 4:46.35, while David Brew cruised to a win in the 800 meters as his time of 2:00.50 was four seconds ahead of the second-place runner.

The Scots' other victor was Mark Stair in the high jump (6 feet, 5 inches), while others of note included runner-up performances from Tarik Welch in the 400 meters (54.65), Morgan Clark in the 5000 meters (16:09.86), and Matt Margida in the shot put (44 feet, 1.5 inches).

Wooster will hold another home track meet next Saturday, the Fighting Scots Invitational, starting with field events at noon and track events at 2 p.m.
