ALLENDALE, Mich. -- The Vikings track & field team concluded the indoor regular season on Friday afternoon at the GVSU Tune-Up Meet. Twenty-two personal-record marks were set, in addition to nine top-ten performances as the Vikings competed in the final meet before next weekend's CCIW Indoor Track & Field Championships.  

Sophomore Jereme Ombogo continues to show his dominance on the track. Ombogo took the 200-meter dash (21.39) and the 400-meter dash (48.85), running the 10th-fastest time in NCAA Division III history with an event-winning time of 21.39 in the 20. He also broke the CCIW 200-meter dash record of 21.93 set by Illinois Wesleyan's Segun Olopo in 2008. Ombogo is currently ranked 4th in the nation in the 200.

Freshman Riana Hayes and Mariana Costa also raced for new personal bests in the 60 meters. Running down the straight away, they went stride for stride as Hayes eventually pulled away and crossed the line in 8.22 seconds while Costa crossed the line at 8.38 seconds.  

North Park 800-meter crew had an outstanding day with sophomore Jalen Rios leading the way. Rios ran a lifetime best of 2:01.86 which is now the 10^th fastest time in school history. The rest of the crew, Christian Lamberty (2:19.08), Alex Salmeron (2:19.41), Brendan Stump (2:28.81), and Erin O'Hara (2:52.23) all ran lifetime best in the 800-meters.  

Over in the 3K, Patrycja Miazek shaved more than two seconds off her previous personal record to finish in third place with a time of 10:40.70. That time places him 3rd in school history. Freshman Erika Ver Beek shaved 26 seconds off her previous personal record finishing with a time of 12:25.46. 

The Vikings travel to the CCIW Indoor Track & Field Championships next weekend, Feb. 24-25, hosted by Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington.
