BOULDER, Colo. – The Air Force track and field team made three additions to the program's all-time standings and collected 11 event titles this afternoon (March 16), as it wrapped up action at the outdoor-opening Jerry Quiller Classic under brisk conditions in Boulder.
Junior Terrell Bradford, as well as freshmen Mikayla Gallagher and Sydney Hansen, impacted the program's top-10 standings during their first meet of the 2019 outdoor season. Bradford easily won the 200-meter dash, as he posted a career-best time of 21.23 to debut in sixth on the program's all-time list, while Gallagher and Hansen posted the ninth-fastest times in the 3000-meter run (10:03.82, adjusted for altitude) and steeplechase (11:48.27a), respectively. Hansen, whose actual time of 12:07.99 would also have impacted the Academy's top 10, edged classmate Sarah Deresky in an all-Air Force steeplechase, as Deresky posted the 11th-fastest mark in program history at 11:53.33a.
Bradford paced the men to a dominant finish in the 200-meter event, as he, senior Sedacy Walden (career-best 21.57), sophomore Zachary Dicken (career-best 21.64), senior Reece Pontious (career-best 21.64), sophomore Luke Zuluaga (career-best 22.54), junior Terrell Davis (career-best 22.71) and freshman Carter Kuehl (debut 22.73) swept the top-seven spots of the 15-runner race.
Kuehl picked up a first-place finish in the 100-meter dash, as he recorded a debut time of 11.28 to win the event by 0.22 seconds, while Dicken, Walden, Davis and Zuluaga combined for a winning time of 3:15.62 in the 4x400-meter dash. Freshman Matt Zacharias won his first 3000-meter steeplechase (10:14.24), while seniors Garrett Coalson and Logan Feasline earned first-place marks in the shot put (47'11¼") and discus throw (168'8"), respectively.
Feasline paced the Falcons to the top-three spots in the 15-thrower discus event, as Coalson added a runner-up distance of 158'8" and freshman Jarod Pankau posted a debut distance of 156'7" to win his flight and take third overall. The men also accounted for a 1-2 finish in the steeplechase, as freshman Chris Floyd recorded a debut time of 10:19.36 to take second.
Sophomores Aric Kedge and Scott Johnson were the top collegiate finishers in their respective events, as Kedge finished second overall in his 800-meter debut (1:55.84) and Johnson posted a time of 4:01.79 to finish fourth in the overall field of 28 at the 1500-meter distance.
The men claimed two of the top-three spots in the high jump, as freshman Jake Hall and sophomore Addison Brown finished second (debut 6'4¾") and third (6'2¾"), respectively. Freshman La'akea Aiu earned a runner-up finish in his first 400-meter hurdles (56.99), while classmate Wyatt Murphy accounted for the same placement in his first outdoor long jump (21'2¾").
