ALMA, Mich. - Alma College track and field traveled to the Roanoke (Va.) Invitational March 19 as the women’s team finished third while the men took home fifth place. Alma’s Greg Jacobs (Traverse City) took both the men’s pole vault and javelin titles while Phoebe Renne (Chippewa Hills) and Erin Wicker (Birmingham) finished second in the women’s high jump and shot put, respectively.

For the men, Thiel College took home top honors with 147 points while Bridgewater, Roanoke and Otterbein came in ahead of the Scots, who scored 96 points.

The 5000 meter run saw Whitman and Dirk Callahan (Fowler, Ind.) take third and fourth spots with times of 16:32.00 and 16:35.84, respectively. Matt Foley (Flint) took second in the 10,000 meter (38:52.25) while Callahan took runner-up honors in the 3000 meter steeplechase (10:42.93). In the high jump, Chris Francetic (Merrill) took home second (1.83m/6-00.00) while Greg Jacobs (Traverse City) earned champion honors in the pole vault (3.65m/12-00.00) and javelin (55.28m/181-04) and fourth in the shot put (13.28m/43-07.00).
