Track & Field Completes ODAC Championships

Hornets earn 15 medals and All-ODAC honors this weekend.

SALEM, Va.– The Shenandoah University indoor track & field teams completed the ODAC Championships Sunday evening.

The men finished with 59 points, good for fourth place, the women took fifth place with 52 points.

The teams took home 16 combined medals and All-ODAC honors with 25 performances scoring points for the team scores.

Four school records were set this weekend. In addition to the women's DMR set on Saturday, Elijah Morton, Elias McGhie, and Emily Miller set school marks in the 60, 200 and 3000 meters, respectively.

Morton's time of 6.90 seconds was good for second place and McGhie's sixth place finish in the 800 meter, 1:59.81, breaks Justin Mehrer's record set in 2018.

Miller was busy this weekend as she scored in all of her events: the DMR win Saturday night, a third place in the mile and a sixth in the 3000 meters.

The men's field events did especially well, scoring off seven performances including all four Hornets that competed in the weight throw.

John Kindig placed third with Wyatt Schannauer, Jacob Morris and James Knave finishing 6-7-8.

Washington & Lee won the men's trophy with 153 points and Lynchburg followed them with a score of 141.
