Eric Dyer won the triple jump and Katie Dale set a school record at the All-Ohio Championships, highlighting The College of Wooster track & field team’s weekend, which included two meets. While the Fighting Scots did help Oberlin College inaugurate its Robert Kahn Track with a non-scoring dual late Friday evening, the primary focus was on Saturday’s All-Ohio meet, hosted by Ohio Wesleyan University.

Dyer’s victory was a dramatic one, earning the title on his last jump when he hit a mark of 45 feet, 2.5 inches to outdistance runner-up David Burke of Ohio Wesleyan University by 3.5 inches (44 feet, 11 inches). It was a personal-best for the Wooster sophomore who continues his breakout season.

“It was an outstanding effort on (Eric’s) part,” said veteran Scot head coach Dennis Rice. “With his last attempt … he came through with a championship effort.”

Also for Wooster in the triple jump, senior Tristan Jordan came in fourth (43 feet, 11.25 inches).

The Scots had multiple scorers in the 10,000 meters as well, paced by junior Mark DeWine’s fourth-place run. A time of 32:58.19 put him less than seven seconds behind the runner-up, while sophomore Terry Workman added an eighth-place showing in the long distance race, crossing the finish line in 33:09.54.

Jordan finished just outside of the scoring in the long jump via a ninth-place mark of 20 feet, 2.25 inches, as did junior Averell Gatton and sophomore Jon Mathis, who tied for ninth overall in the high jump (5 feet, 10 inches), and sophomore Ramses Clements, who was ninth in the triple jump (40 feet, 9 inches).

Dale re-set her own record in the hammer throw with a heave of 108 feet, 9 inches Saturday, while fellow junior Kayla Miller led Wooster’s women’s team via a third-place finish in the triple jump, reaching 35 feet, 3.25 inches, which was less than five inches shy of the champion’s mark (35 feet, 7.75 inches).

Sophomore KateLynn Riley had the third-fastest time of the preliminaries in the 100-meter hurdles at 16.01 and lowered that to 15.89 during the finals, but slipped to sixth-place. Also on the track, freshman Suzanne Capehart covered the 5000 meters in 18:38.82, good for fourth.

Additional noteworthy performances included Miller tying for ninth in the high jump (4 feet, 9 inches) and Dale posting a 10th-place effort in the shot put (35 feet, 5.75 inches).
