Albani Lowers Own School Record at All-Ohio Meet During Busy Scots' Track Weekend

Men's All-Ohio Results | Women's All-Ohio Results

Junior Bryan Albani raced to a fifth-place finish during the 55-meter hurdles at the All-Ohio Championships, and in the process lowered his own school record in the event highlighting a busy weekend for The College of Wooster track & field teams. On Friday, both squads participated in the unscored Kenyon Invitational, followed by a select group of Fighting Scots competed at the All-Ohio meet in Westerville.

Albani’s time of 7.79 nips his own school record by five-hundreths he established last winter. Another strong performance was turned in by Eric Dyer and Averell Gatton at the All-Ohio meet, as Dyer placed fifth overall in the triple jump with a leap of 43 feet, 1 inch, while Gatton wound up seventh in 41 feet, 1 inch.

In the women’s competition at the All-Ohio Championships, Wooster had two individual competitors score top-seven finishes, as Kayla Miller placed third in the triple jump (34 feet, 1.50 inches), and KateLynn Riley stopped the clock in seventh in the 55-meter hurdles (8.97).

On Friday night in Gambier, the Scot men were led by the trio of Mark DeWine, Rick Workman, and Bryan Loy in the 5,000-meter event, in which they crossed the line first, second and third with respective times of 16:14.54, 16:42.86 and 16:43.75. Wooster also picked up second-place finishes from Robert Flagg in the 55-meter dash (6.87), Jon Mathis in the high jump (6 feet), Julian Mangano in the 400-meter run (52.50), and Josh Kime in the shot put (44 feet, 2.50 inches).

Sarah Appleton, Ali Drushal and Suzanne Capehart led the Scot women inside the Kenyon Athletic Center. Appleton took home the event title in the 5,000-meter run, crossing the line in 19:34.23, while Drushal placed third in the 400-meter run (1:05.88), and Capehart was third in the mile run in 5:28.17.

Both teams will return to the track Friday, taking part in the Greater Cleveland Championships hosted by Baldwin-Wallace College.
