Complete EMU Twilight Results
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The weather was not as much of a factor on day two of the EMU Twilight as it was for the opening day. Despite temperatures in the 40s and gusting winds, the Eastern Michigan University men's track team recorded four wins on the final day of the annual event.
Recently named Academic All-Mid-American Conference member, senior Oliver Walther jumped 44-08.75 to secure a win for the Eagles in the triple jump. Walther's victory was followed up by a Nathan Blackwell win in the 800-meter run. Blackwell finished less than two seconds ahead of teammate Cole Sanseverino, who finished fifth.
In the pole vault, senior Adam McMillian earned the decision as he vaulted above the competition clearing 14-11.00. The quartet of Vanier Joseph, Ackeem Forde, Koleon Prescott and Clint Allen ran a 41.92 in the 4x100-meter relat to pick up the Eagles' fourth win.
In day one action, Gerald Gersham, Matt Hammersmith, David Brent and Xavier Clais each had second place finishes.
The Eagles waste little time between meets as they hit the track and field again April 22 for the Drake Relays in Des Moine, Iowa.
