NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Three top 10 all-time marks were part of a small group of Viking track & field athletes that competed on Saturday at the Pat Heenan Invite on the campus of North Central College.
Sophomore Jereme Ombogo led the way with a 200-meter victory with a time of 22.03. His mark broke a 12-year-old school record that was by Gabriel Nash. Ombogo also broke his own 60-meter dash record at the meet and ran 6.79. That time currently places him 8th in the nation.
Freshman Thea Ring had a 3rd-place finish in the 400-meter dash. That time places her as the second-fast time in the North Park record books. Her time has her ranked 3rd in the CCIW, currently.
Senior Clark Fremouw finished the meet in 5th place in the shot put with a throw of 14.59M (47'3.5"). His throw just fell short of a lifetime best in the event.
Up next, the Vikings conclude the regular season at Grand Valley State's Tune-Up Meet on Friday, February 17. Then it's on to the CCIW Championship, which will be hosted at Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, IL, from February 24-25.
