The Emory University men’s track and field team turned in
another successful indoor season during the 2010-11 campaign,
recording its fifth-consecutive top three finish at the University
Athletic Association (UAA) Championships.
Although the squad did not have a participant at the NCAA Division
III Championships, Emory saw three of its athletes reach
provisional qualifying marks during the season. Senior
Everett Bryant recorded a provisional time of 7.75
seconds in the 55-meter hurdles, and his season-best time of 8.47
seconds in the 60-meter hurdles was the sixth-fastest in school
history. Junior Ian Francis reached 14.30
meters in the triple jump at the UAA Championships, the fourth-best
distance in school history and good for provisional qualification
as well. Sophomore Nelson Nwannunu also had
a provisional mark in the long jump, reaching 6.94 meters, the
fourth-longest jump in school history.
Sophomore Tony Lombardo recorded the four best
pole vault marks in school history during the season, clearing a
school-record height of 4.53 meters at the UAA Championships.
Other top performances during the season included junior
Ben Euwer’s shot put of 14.35 meters at the
UNC Kent Taylor Invitational and sophomore Isaac
Chambers’ time of 1:08.59 in the 500-meter dash,
each the second-best mark in school history. Francis’
time of 37.21 seconds in the 300-meter dash at the Orange and
Purple Classic was the fourth-best time ever by an Eagle, while
sophomore Stephen Ellwood’s time of 4:20.42
in the mile run at the UNC Kent Taylor Invitational was the
ninth-best time in the program’s history. In addition,
the Eagles’ distance medley relay team of junior
Manvir Heir, freshman Nick
Cortellessa, senior Ty Trumbo and senior
Kevin Lanza recorded a time of 10:29.33 seconds at
the UAA Championships, the eight-best time in Emory history.
During their conference championships, the Eagles totaled 66
points, finishing behind first place Washington University (161
points) and the second-place University of Chicago (100
points). The third-place finish was the 14th
top-three finish at the UAA Championships in the program’s
history.
Francis recorded the lone championship for Emory, winning the
triple jump at UAAs. Junior Xavier Fowler
(triple jump), freshman Scott Greathouse (high
jump), Lombardo (pole vault) and the Eagles’ 4x400-meter
relay team of Francis, senior Jason Campbell,
Chambers and freshman Mike Moserowitz each picked
up top-three finishes at the meet for Emory.
