ANN ARBOR, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University men's track and field team concludes its regular-season efforts Friday, May 3, participating in the Len Paddock Open hosted by the University of Michigan.
The Eagles last competed at both the Hillsdale "GINA" Relays, hosted by Hillsdale College, and the Jesse Owens Classic, hosted by the Ohio State University, Thursday through Saturday, April 25-27. The first of the team's three days of competition was spotlighted by freshman Joseph Ingram (Cincinnati, Ohio-Anderson) and redshirt freshman Ian Cook (Worthington, Ohio-Thomas Worthington) marking career-best efforts in the 5000m, placing 20th and 86th with times of 15:12.45 and 16:03.95, respectively. Friday's performances included five top-15 performances from the Eagles, with senior Derek Ziegenfuss (Allentown, Pa.-Parkland) and graduate transfer Melika Ghali (Toronto, Canada-Jarvis Collegiate Institute (Boise State)) leading the way, as Ziegenfuss finished second in the javelin throw with a heave of 65.73m at the Jesse Owens Classic, while Ghali finished fourth with a time of 14:36.10 at the "GINA" Relays.
EMU closed out the weekend with four podium efforts in the final day of the Jesse Owens Classic, taking home top-three finishes in the 4x100-meter relay, triple jump, 100m, and 200m. The 4x100 relay team of sophomore Owen Richardson (Basingstoke, England), juniors Sean Beckom II (Saginaw, Mich.-Heritage) and Terrell Posada (Naples, Fla.-Naples High), and senior Tyler Underwood (Clinton, Mich.-Clinton) earned a silver medal, while Posada and Underwood earned individual second-place finishes in the 100m and 200m, respectively. Senior Micah Peters (York, Ontario-Vaughn Road Academy) snagged the Eagles' lone second-place mark in the field events.
EMU will start competition in Ann Arbor at 10 a.m. with the men's and women's javelin throw, while its time on the track will kick off at noon with the 3000m steeplechase.
