The Builders track teams participated in the Oklahoma Christian Invitational on Jan. 28 at Norman, Okla. The Builders headed to Oklahoma with a desire to win and bring home good results.
“Our goal for yesterday’s meet was to build on the good start we had at Missouri Southern last week and to improve on our performances overall,” said Jim Helmer, Head Cross Country & Men’s Track Coach. The warmer weather has made this season more efficient. “Honestly, as nice as the weather is put more work in training,” said Mike Kirkland, Head Women’s Track Coach.
“I treat every practice as a day to truly get better. I never go through the motions to just get things done every stride, high jump approach, and hurdle, “said Jovan Fulton-Wilson, psychology junior.“I go over and try to do perfection so by meet day there is no doubt in my mind.”
Fulton-Wilson participated in the men long jump and men high jump. In the high jump he finished second with 1.95 m.
Colton Siler, psychology senior, won the 60M, tied the school record, and qualified for the NAIA National Indoor Championships.
Chris Copeland won the 600M and qualified for nationals.
Mandy Bostwick, elementary education senior, and Allyssa Zenter, athletic training junior, both achieved their seasonal best in weight throw and shot put. Kirkland said, “They both had nice significant improvements from last week.”
Helmer said for the next meet, “Our goal will be to win the meet and to be as good as we are capable of at this point in the season.”
Both teams will be competing in the KCAC Indoor Championships at Wichita State University Feb. 10 and Feb. 11.
