*- Personal record this year

his new event. "I think they
(coaches) could see that he
has long arms. That plays
into it, and he's committed
to weight training, too."
Rohrer placed eighth in
the shot put with a throw of
40-2, tying his personal re-
cord.
Senior Collin McArthur
ran the 800 meters for the
first time this season and
nearly broke the school re-
cord set by Deven Beck in
2006, winning the race with
a time of 2:00.68.
"He's about 7/10ths of
a second off the record,"
Sanders said. "He was re-
ally ready to go His first
200 meters were really fast.
He was even trying to hold
himself back."
Colin May ran for the
first time this season af-
ter injuring his knee long-
jumping in the first meet of
the season at Cody, and the
senior placed third in the
3,200 meters with a time
of 10:57.45. Freshman AJ
Dickson placed fourth with
a personal-record time of
11:09.07.
"I thought Colin ran a
good race," Sanders said. "I
think he felt good about it."
Michael Steiner paced
seventh in the 1,600 me-
ters with a four-lap time of
5:51.65, a personal record.
Mark Grant ran the
sixth best time in the pre-
liminaries of the 200-meter
dash with a time of 24.60, a
personal record, but did not

work to do."

hurdles with a time of 18.29
after running a person-

the preliminaries. Nathan
Grant placed seventh at
18.96 after running the pre-
lims in 18.51.
"If Nathan (Ballard)
could get into the 17s, that
would be great," Sanders

cusing on that a little more
than on the hurdles."

team of Mark Grant, Cody
Savage, Calin McArthur
and Collin McArthur placed
first with a time of 3:44.86,
