The Eastern Mennonite University track and field teams competed at the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships, April 18-19, 2014, at Roanoke College.<\/p>\n

Women’s track and field<\/h3>\n

Sophomore\u00a0Hannah Chappell-Dick<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Bluffton, Ohio\/Bluffton) highlighted the Eastern Mennonite University track & field women at the ODAC Championships as she won two individual titles and broke a record.\u00a0 Roanoke College hosted the conference’s title meet in Salem, Va.<\/p>\n

Chappell-Dick claimed a pair of gold medals with the resulting All-ODAC First Team status.\u00a0 In the 1500m, Chappell-Dick had a huge PR to break the ODAC Championships record.\u00a0 The sophomore crossed in 4:38.61, out-pacing rival Annalise Madison of Washington and Lee by a full second.\u00a0 Both runners broke the meet record of 4:43.08, set by All-American Carmen Graves in 2012.\u00a0 It was also an EMU record for Chappell-Dick, who easily broke her own mark of 4:47.12 from last spring.<\/p>\n

Chappell-Dick and Madison went head-to-head again in the 800m, with Chappell-Dick again coming out on top.\u00a0 She ran off her EMU record time, but still cleared the field by three seconds with a time of 2:18.31.\u00a0 Teammate\u00a0Juni Schirch<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Goshen, Ind.\/Goshen) had a great race and PRed in 2:25.23.\u00a0 She finished eighth and just missed pointing by a mere nine-tenths of a second.<\/p>\n

In the javelin,\u00a0Becca Borg<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Gig Harbor, Wash.\/Peninsula) just missed All-ODAC honors with a fourth-place finish.\u00a0 Borg’s best spear landed at 29.32m to just edge out W&L’s Leigh Dannhauser on her final effort.<\/p>\n

The 4x400m relay team grabbed sixth, as\u00a0Hannah Patterson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Puyallup, Wash.\/Mountainview International), Schirch,\u00a0Lanae Kreider<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Harrisonburg, Va.\/Broadway) and Chappell-Dick combined to time at 4:27.36.<\/p>\n

Alyssa Bane<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Strasburg, Va.\/Strasburg) snuck a point in the discus, finishing sixth at 31.45m.<\/p>\n

Senior\u00a0Krista Rittenhouse<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Mt. Pleasant, Pa.\/Mt. Pleasant Area) finished her career well, setting her PR in the 5000m with a time of 19:29.20.\u00a0 Similar to Schirch, Rittenhouse finished eighth, with the top six in each event earning points to the team total.<\/p>\n

The Royals totaled 26 points to finished seventh out of nine teams at the meet.\u00a0 Roanoke won the team title with 150.33 points.<\/p>\n

Men’s track and field<\/h3>\n

It was almost expected, but the Eastern Mennonite University men’s track & field team made a clean sweep of the high jump medals at the 2014 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championship meet.\u00a0 Roanoke hosted the two-day event in Salem, Va., on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

EMU entered the ODAC Championships with three of the top four heights in the high jump during the season.\u00a0 They made it a top-three sweep.\u00a0\u00a0Jordan King<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Dalton, Ohio\/Central Christian) earned his fourth consecutive indoor and outdoor title, as the senior had no problem in clearing 2.04m (6-8.25ft) to win the meet and set a new EMU record.\u00a0\u00a0Quentin Moore<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Richmond, Va.\/Highland Springs) had the most surprising finish, claiming the silver at 2.02m (6-7.5ft).\u00a0 Moore recently joined the team after the completion of the men’s volleyball season a few weeks ago.\u00a0 Sophomore\u00a0Drew Vrolijk<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Harrisonburg, Va.\/Eastern Mennonite) was third at 1.91m (6-3.25ft).\u00a0 All three claim All-ODAC status, and each also have a shot at qualifying for the national meet.<\/p>\n

Rashan Winters<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Mechanicsville, Va.\/Atlee) just claimed a spot in the finals of the 400m dash, standing sixth after the preliminaries with a time of :50.41.\u00a0 The freshman then set his PR in the finals, finishing fourth with a time of :50.20.<\/p>\n

Jared Nisly<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Lancaster, Pa.\/Lancaster Mennonite) took points in the 3000m steeplechase, earning fifth with a time of 10:19.7.<\/p>\n

The 4x400m relay team of\u00a0Jonathan Bush<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Pottstown, Pa.\/Owen J. Roberts), Winters,\u00a0Alec Thibodeaux<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Staunton, Va.\/Fort Defiance) and\u00a0Philip Watson<\/a><\/strong>(Philadelphia, Pa.\/La Salle) was fifth as well, combining for a time of 3:25.08 and a photo finish ahead of Roanoke’s time of 3:25.13.<\/p>\n

Thibodeaux and\u00a0Tyler Denlinger<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Perkasie, Pa.\/ Christopher Dock) continued their season-long efforts at pushing each other in the 800m.\u00a0 Thibodeaux crossed sixth to grab the final point toward the team total, timing at 1:57.88.\u00a0 He was just three-tenths of a second from jumping into fourth place.\u00a0 Denlinger then took seventh place in 1:58.33.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gehman<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Millersville, Pa.\/Lancaster Mennonite) set his PR by more than seven seconds in the 5000m run, crossing in 15:26.11 to take sixth place.\u00a0 Classmate\u00a0Jacob Landis<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Sterling, Ill.\/Sterling) was one position behind him with a time of 15:37.21.<\/p>\n

Azariah Cox<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Lynchburg, Va.\/Heritage) and\u00a0Richard Robinson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Broadway, Va.\/Broadway) each qualified for the finals of 110m hurdles, with Cox grabbing sixth place in :16.07.<\/p>\n

Jordan Leaman<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Harrisonburg, Va.\/Harrisonburg) was one spot from pointing in the 10,000m run, crossing seventh in 34:22.97.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Heizer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Staunton, Va.\/Riverheads) topped his PR on three different efforts in the shot put, and finished eighth with his best heave at 12.38m (40-7.4ft).\u00a0 He also destroyed his PR in the discus, landing at 34.12m (111-11.3ft).<\/p>\n

Eastern Mennonite finished seventh in a very tight grouping in the men’s team standings.\u00a0 EMU had 35 points, but was within three points of fourth-place Roanoke at 38.\u00a0 Virginia Wesleyan was fifth with 37 while Shenandoah was sixth at 36.<\/p>\n

This was the final meet of the year for most of the Royals, although a few athletes will stick around in efforts to prepare for a potential trip to the NCAA National Championships, which are May 22-24 in Delaware, Ohio.\u00a0 The first meet scheduled as part of that stretch run is the Liberty Twilight Qualifier on Wednesday, April 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
