The College of Wooster indoor track season continued this weekend
with the men and women competing at the Greater Cleveland Championships
in Berea, Ohio, and hosted by Baldwin-Wallace College. The men's
squad finished fifth in the six-team field with 47 points, while
the women came in sixth with 27 total points.
Wooster picked up three first-place finishes on the men's side,
all in the last five events of the day, to overtake Hiram College
(30 points) for the fifth-spot. Freshmen Ross Stevenson and
Tristan Jordan led the way with first-place finishes in the
high jump (5 feet, 10 inches) and the triple jump (41 feet, 7.75
inches), respectively, while Rick Drushal topped the field
in the shot put with a heave of 46 feet, 7.5 inches. Alan Waddell
also picked up some big points down the stretch with a second-place
finish in the pole vault (11 feet).
Other top finishers on the men's side included Jon Prince

Turner with sixth and third-place finishes in the 500 meters
(1:10.18) and 1000 meters (2:41.51), respectively.
On the women's side, Jill Berner accounted for nearly one-third
of Wooster's points with a second-place showing in the pole vault
as the junior cleared 10 feet exactly. Sophomore Alexandra Thonis
and junior Kathy McCreary pulled out third-place finishes
in the 200 meters (30.14) and 800 meters (2:33.61), while freshman
Nicole Calderone finished one-place ahead of McCreary (1:28.15)
