STARTING BLOCK
The North Florida Men's Track & Field program collected four event titles along with claiming for runner-up event finishes on the final day of the ASUN Outdoor Championships. The Ospreys swept the podium in the 1500m and finished third in the overall team standings
Â
AROUND THE TRACK
- Senior Tyler Stahl led a sweep of the podium in the 1500m running an event winning time of 3:50.25 followed closely by junior teammate Nick Morken in second at 3:50.29. Fellow junior Fynn Timm finished third in 3:52 en route to his second medal of the ASUN Championship
- Nick Morken boasted a PR, school and conference meet record time of 1:48 en route to winning his second career 800m title. He paced a trio of point scorers in the event as he was joined by Chris Robin (4th) and Rayford James (5th)
- Stahl tallied impressive double event victory after racing to the top of the podium in the 5000m with a time of 14:56. Sophomore Noah Perkins was the runner-up in a time of 14:57 and fellow sophomore Rob Leverone finished fourth in 15:03
- Sophomore George Escobar used a PR in the 400m (48.08) to earn a silver medal
ON THE FIELD
- Junior Bobby Harris won his third ASUNÂ Outdoor High Jump title with a mark of 2.07m (6-09.50), while freshman teammate Damian Lewis joined him on the podium earning a runner-up finish with a mark of 1.92m (6-03.50)
UP NEXT:
North Florida looks to have three qualifiers for the NCAA East Preliminary on May 24-26 in Tampa, Fla. The Ospreys with regional qualifying times/marks include: Nick Morken (800m / 1500m), Tyler Stahl (1500m) and Fynn Timm (3000m Steeplechase)
Pigg's Points (Comments from Head Coach Jeff Pigg)
"Nick Morken's 800m was amazing. He continues to do some great things in the middle distance events. Doubling up with a time of 1:48 was a great run. He has done some good stuff and I'm sure there are many great races ahead.
Tyler Stahl winning the 1500m and 5000m was some tough running. He has upped his game again. He is such a great leader and closed out his ASUN career with a high note. This was his best performances yet.Â
George Escobar had a PR by almost a second in running a great 400m and finishing second. George is such a great, humble guy so it is fun to see him have great success.
It was nice to have Bobby Harris and Damian Lewis finish 1-2 in the high jump. Bobby continues to dominate the ASUNÂ high jump. It was great work by both guys.
Noah Perkins had a great meet, following up his second in the 10,000m last night with another second place in the 5000m tonight. He ran two tough races. I'm proud of his improvements and glad he is just a sophomore."
