Tim Webb qualified for the IC4A Championships and won the high jump and the triple jump Friday as the men's track and field team won a tri-meet against Shippensburg and Glennville State at the Indoor Sports Complex.

The Lions finished the meet with 109 points, Shippensburg 51 and Glennville State, which is in West Virginia, eight points.

Webb set a personal best in the triple jump with 47'10¼" and he finished at a height of 6'8¾" in the high jump, which qualifies him for IC4As. Webb first qualified for IC4As in the triple jump in Florida last weekend with a previous personal best of 47'4"

"That's the first time I've qualified for both in the same day," Webb said.

He said that qualifying in the high jump was his goal for this weekend and added that he has been jumping close to the qualifying standard all season.

Webb will compete in the high jump and the triple jump at the IC4A meet.

"It's kind of tough, the triple jump takes a lot out of your legs," he said.

The Lions' distance medley relay team also met its goal of qualifying for IC4As this weekend. The B-team made up of Joe Stegbauer, Mark Anderson, Mike Castillo and Steve Brown finished the event in first place with a time of 10:08.1.

The Lions, however, failed to qualify anyone in the 500-meter run via the 600-yard run. Coach Harry Groves said the track at the Indoor Sports Complex is hard to run on.

"The shorter the race, the tougher it is," Groves said.

He added that longer races are not as affected by the small size and tight turns of the track, because longer races are run slower.

Groves said that at next weekend's Last Chance Invitational, at the Indoor Sports Complex, they may run an actual 500-meter race. Times in the 600 are converted to 500 times, which is just another way to reach the qualifying standard.

"If we don't qualify, I guess we won't run it," Jon Strange said.

Strange said that despite the track, the 500-meter will probably be easier to run because it involves running a shorter distance at the same pace.

"There's no difference in how fast you run," he said.

Stegbauer won the 600 in 1:13.31, Strange (1:13.52) placed second and Mark Anderson (1:13.64) third. Strange has already qualified in the 400 and Stegbauer and Anderson have qualified in the 800.

Meson Ternay qualified in the long jump at 23'7¼". Marshall Cannon placed second at 23'2½" and John Ramanowicz fourth at 21'11". Greg Rogers (7.63) and Ricardo Hall (7.7) placed first and second in the 55-meter high hurdles.

In the 55-meter dash Kevin Kelly (6.64) placed second, Rogers (6.69) third and Derik Ferrell (6.71) fourth. Ferrell also won the 220-yard run with 23.39. Ferrell said the 220 is his stronger event right now, but he would like to be stronger in the 400. "I have to work and get a little more endurance before that happens," Ferrell said.

Kevin Kelly (23.44) placed second in the 220. Phil Caraher won the shot put with a toss of 57'5" and Rich Polenik placed second with 42'11". Kevin Wiley (51.40) placed second in the 440 and Eric Sturtevant won the 880 in 1:56.03.

Mike Castillo (2:14.21) and Marc Taylor (2:19.37) finished the 1,000 in first and second place, respectively. Phil Mellott (4:22.51) placed second and Pete Stockhausen (4:24.83) fourth in the 1,600.

Mark Wimmer (9:30.30) and John Chichester (9:40.14) finished the 3,200 in third and fourth place, respectively. Ternay won the pole vault with a height of 16', Mark Algeri finished at the same height for second place and Kirby Walker was fourth at 13'6".

Ternay also placed second in the high jump at 6'6" and Sam Pennypacker jumped 44'11" in the triple jump for second place.

The 1,600 relay team of Rogers, Wiley, Taylor and Strange won the event in 3:28.3.
