Seniors Chelsea Fickbohm and Laurel Benson also scored points for the women. Fickbohm placed sixth in the javelin with a distance of 103 feet, 10 inches. She also placed eighth in the 400m hurdles. Benson placed seventh in the pole vault with a height of eight feet, 1.25 inches.
The men's relay teams scored the most points for the team with sixth place finishes for both the 400m relay with a time of 45.38 seconds and the 1,600m relay with a time of 3:32.1. Individually, senior Mike Pierquet placed eighth in the hammer throw with a distance of 128 feet four inches for the Vikings.
Another eighth place finish came in the discus with a throw of 134 feet two inches thrown by junior Rob Lawson. Lawson was not completely satisfied with his performance as the finals were all so close to each other. However, he looked on the bright side: "On the plus side, I still scored one point but I am not really satisfied with that and hope to do much better next year."
Lawson threw in a little bit of humor; when his coach asked how he did, he responded, "You know I didn't throw as well as I could but I am a really nice guy!"
Overall, congratulations to all the Lawrence Track and Field members on a good year. Bulat and all of the other underclassmen want to send a message to the seniors: "We will miss all the seniors who will be graduating very soon but we are very excited and cannot wait until the indoor and, of course, outdoor seasons begin again and we can represent Lawrence Track and Field!"
