Attendance record intact, another relay record broken
Kansas thrower finishes first and third at Relays
Plenty of action took place in the GOLDZONE II on Saturday, from the pole vault to the discus throw. Some of the biggest names from the track and field world converged on Lawrence to take part in the afternoon-long showcase.
Some of the most exciting performances of the day came not from world-renowned sprinters, but from homegrown middle-distance runners.
The men’s invitational mile run featured six competitors from in-state colleges, with four Jayhawks among them. Although none of the runners could top Jim Ryun’s famed Kansas Relays record of 3:54, three athletes qualified for the Divison-1 Regional meet. The qualifying time is 4:06.
Cowley County’s Daniel Maina won the race, but was trailed closely by an eager pack of runners that included all four Jayhawk participants. Kansas sophomore Colby Wissel finished third in 4:05, just in front of Jayhawk seniors Cameron Schwehr and Joshy Madathil followed by sophomore Paul Hefferon. Wissel was the only Jayhawk to qualify for the regional meet.
The race was close until the end, and most of the runners were bunched tightly together for the duration of the contest. The competition was so tight that unaffiliated runners Ben Houltberg and Chris Mulvaney were forced off of the track, resulting in disqualifications.
The Jayhawks didn’t appear fazed by the magnitude of the GOLDZONE II, and were just grateful to be a part of such a respected event.
“It’s tough that I couldn’t win, but having great competition like this, you really can’t complain at all,” Schwehr said of his final race in the relays.
Wissel said he was just as proud of his school and teammates as he was his record-breaking time.
“It’s just a lot of fun out here in your hometown with your teammates, competing in front of a home crowd,” Wissel said.
