Michels, Moore Lead Cavs at Oregon Twilight
COMPLETE RESULTS
EUGENE, Ore.—Ethan Moore cleared a season-best 6-9 (2.06m) in the high jump while Linsie Michels posted a huge career best in the 800-meter run to lead Concordia at the Oregon Twilight on Friday.
With a successful jump on his second attempt with the bar at 6-9, Moore equaled his career best in the high jump to match the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championship ‘A’ standard.
Michels, meanwhile, cruised to a 2:08.78 for second place in the 800-meter run behind Bowerman AC’s Laura Carlyle (2:07.26). The time was bettered Michels’ previous best of 2:11.69 by nearly three full seconds and places the senior No. 2 on the NAIA performance list behind College of Idaho’s Hillary Holt (2:07.62).
Concordia registered eight top-four finished in the throwing events with Willy Irwin (57-9 1/2) and Gabriella Dixson sweeping the shot put (48-0 3/4). Dixson returned to take runner-up honors in the discus with a 172-6 effort while Irwin took third place in the discipline with a 176-6.
In the hammer, Bo Johnson and Adam Riddle went 2-3 with distances of 187-7 and 185-9, respectively, while Sharayah Kenady grabbed fourth place in the women’s competition with a 183-9. Finally, Zach Lake placed third in the men’s shot with an outdoor season-best of 49-2 1/2.
Back on the track, Marshey Brown turned in a career best in the 100-meter dash with a 12.64, chopping .10 off her previous low.
A shade behind the school record of 42.29, the men’s 400-meter relay team consisting of Timmy Rodriguez, Andre Washington, Jordan Reeher and Moore toured the track in 42.34, the second best time in school history.
