MONMOUTH, Ill. —
For the third
consecutive year, the Monmouth College track team brought home
All-American honors from the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and
Field Championships held at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
in Terre Haute, Ind.
Luke Reschke
(Geneseo, Ill./Geneseo) had the Fighting Scots’ best finish, picking
up his seventh and eighth All-American honors. His fourth-place
finish in the 400-meter dash was the Scots’ highest placing in the
two-day meet. The senior’s time of 49.23 was less than a second off
the winning pace of 48.33 set by Hanneus Ollison of McMurry
University.
Reschke’s eighth
All-American award came in the 4x400 relay where he teamed with
classmate Jacob Stott (Morris, Ill./Coal City), sophomore
Logan Hohl (Orion, Ill./Orion) and junior Ryan Hardman
(Broadview, Ill./St. Joseph) to place seventh. The foursome clocked
a 3:19.58 to earn Stott and Hohl their second All-American honors
and Hardman his first. The time was just over two seconds behind the
winning relay team from the State University of New York College of
Oneonta which ran a 3:17.19.
Shannon Turczyn
(Peru, Ill./LaSalle Peru) picked up the Scots’ other All-American
award. A three-time All-American outdoors, Turczyn picked up her
first indoor award with a seventh-place finish in the women’s
55-meter hurdles. The senior ran an 8.29 in the finals after
breaking her own school record on Friday with a time of 8.26.
Frostburg State’s Sumer Rohrs won the event in an NCAA record time
of 7.84.
Hohl, Stott and
Gloria Lehr (Knoxville, Ill./Knoxville) failed to make the
finals in their individual events. Lehr’s shot put of 43’0-1/2
missed the finals cut by less than a foot in her first trip to the
championships. On Friday, Hohl ran a 7.82 in the men’s 55-hurdles,
missing the cut by less than two-tenths of a second. Stott missed
the cut in the men’s 400 after clocking a 50.44.
Monmouth’s men
finished 31st of 73 teams at the meet. The Scots women were tied for
54th of 68.
