In their lone home meet of the season, The College of Wooster track & field teams both turned in runner-up performances, as the women scored 112 points and the men 91 at the Wooster Invitational, held Saturday at a sunny but cold Carl Munson Track.

Walsh University was the team champion in the 10-team women’s field with 197 points, while the Fighting Scots edged third-place Notre Dame College (105). Ashland University was fourth (82) and no other squad reached the 50-point mark.

The men’s competition consisted of nine teams, with Notre Dame’s 122 points outdistancing Wooster for the title. The Scots were three tallies better than Edinboro University (88) and Walsh (80) also was not far behind.

Headlining Wooster’s individual results was Ali Drushal, who won two events and placed second in another. She started the day by topping a 22-member field in the javelin with a throw of 117 feet, 10 inches and then raced her way to another title in the 400-meter hurdles, hitting the line in 1:11.79. The versatile Drushal cleared 9 feet, 6.25 inches in the pole vault, good for second, and also was part of a relay.

The Scot women had two other winners in Suzanne Capehart and Kayla Miller. Capehart bested a group of 24 peers in the 1500 meters, finishing with a time of 5:02.44, in addition to her fourth-place run in the 800 (2:29.29). Miller was the day’s top triple jumper, reaching a mark of 34 feet, 1.5 inches, to go with third- and seventh-place efforts in the long jump (15 feet, 2.25 inches) and high jump (4 feet, 11.5 inches), respectively.

Other top-three showings were Katie Dale’s runner-up discus throw (109 feet, 8 inches) and KateLynn Riley’s third-place finishes in both the 100 hurdles (16.98) and javelin (93 feet, 6 inches).

Wooster’s men’s team picked up the majority of its points in the field events, highlighted by Eric Dyer in the triple jump. He hit a mark of 43 feet, 3.25 inches and not far back was teammate Tristan Jordan in third (41 feet, 4.25 inches), while Ramses Clements and Averell Gatton also produced scoring as they were fifth (39 feet, 3 inches) and seventh (38 feet, 8.25 inches), respectively.

Another strong event was the javelin, in which Wooster’s Tobias Bokum-Fauth, Steve Zumbrun, and Seth Stuck took second (140 feet, 5 inches), third (139 feet, 4 inches), and fourth (135 feet, 4 inches) in that order. Zumbrun had another third-place showing in the shot put (43 feet, 7.75 inches), as did Gatton in the long jump (19 feet, 3.25 inches).

On the track, Mark DeWine led the Scots via a third-place finish in the 5000 meters (16:00.91).

Wooster will return to action next Saturday at the Malone Invitational.
