CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Grace's track and field team battled windy conditions to post impressive results at Cedarville University.

The Lancers broke two school records at the Yellow Jacket Open during Grace's second outdoor meet of the season.

The large meet saw over 20 men's and women's teams compete; Grace's women placed fourth overall with the men finishing fifth.

Michael Muiruri broke the oldest-remaining school record on the books. He cleared 45-feet-7 in the triple jump, bettering Jim Bower's 45-year-old record from 1980.

Kylie Sauder won the women's 1,500-meter run in 4:30.00, beating the second-place finisher by over three seconds and hitting the NAIA "B" standard. She beat her previous school record from two years ago, lowering the mark by five seconds.

Sauder also nabbed second in the 800 at 2:15.61, and Morgan Welch was sixth in the race (2:20.41).

Grace won both the men's and women's 10,000-meter runs. Cole Johnston won the men's race, breaking the tape in 31:51.71. Brandon Kleber placed third in the race at 32:21.93.

In the women's 10k, Grace had five of the top-nine finishers. Esther Cameron claimed first with a time of 37:41.04, and Cece Mitchell was runner-up in 38:39.32. Heidi Spahr, Alana Bohls and Avery Samms finished 7-8-9 respectively for the Lancers.

The men's steeplechase saw Grace grab seventh and eighth place from Austin Wilson (10:16.89) and Caden Ringer (10:26.47).

Grace Pettit was runner-up in the women's steeplechase with a personal record of 12:10.04, Brady Hunsberger powered his way to a runner-up finish in the 1,500 (3:54.51), and Tame Baylis was seventh in the 5,000 (18:43.60).

Lanae Crowe nabbed fourth place in the discus out of 47 competitors with a heave of 141-2.

The men had three throwers place in the top-10 of the javelin, including Josiah Thompson in second (179-11), Carter Paeschke in seventh (157-2) and Clayton Martin in ninth (151-3).

Emily McCreary impressed in the high jump. She cleared 5-feet-0.25 and claimed fifth place. Sophie Rupp also cleared that height for Grace.

"Overall this was a solid day of competition against many NCAA D2 and D3 schools. Given the conditions we had today, I was very pleased with both the effort and results of the whole team," said Grace head coach Brian Dewey. "We are continuing to steadily progress as we move toward the conference meet."

The Lancers will next compete in Michigan at Grand Valley State on April 4-5.
