Wooster's Matt Margida, photographed here during Saturday's weight throw competition, set a school record in the weight throw and won the shot put at the NCAC Quad.

Junior Matt Margida set a school record in one event and won another, headlining The College of Wooster track & field team's results at the North Coast Athletic Conference Quad, held Saturday inside the Scot Center.

Wooster welcomed league rivals Allegheny College, Kenyon College, and Ohio Wesleyan University to the annual event, and both the Fighting Scots' men's and women's teams finished third in the closely-contested meet. The Wooster women scored 110, just shy of second-place Allegheny (118), and the men finished up with a similar point total of 93, while Ohio Wesleyan took the championship in both genders.

Margida reset his own school record to 46 feet, 2.75 inches in the weight throw while taking runner-up in that event, and even more impressive, he beat out 10 other competitors in the shot put with a first-place heave of 44 feet, 8.75 inches.

Also in the field, freshman Charles VanDenburgh went as high as 11 feet, 5.75 inches in the pole vault for third-place, while on the track, senior John Lanz and sophomore Blake Pecoraro paced the Scots with thirds in the 400 meters (52.50) and mile (4:41.03), respectively.

Wooster's highlight during the women's meet was the high jump, in which junior Hilary Coady and senior Kendra Shehy tied for top honors, both clearing 5 feet, 1 inch, and first-year teammate Elizabeth Obi came in third (4 feet, 11 inches).

Coady also contributed a second-place showing in the 60-meter hurdles (9.68) and Obi another third in the triple jump (33 feet, 3 inches).

Junior Paris Nahas led the way on the track with third-place sprints in the 60 meters (8.15) and 200 (27.44).

Next Saturday will be the Fighting Scots Invitational, their third home event in as many weeks.
