ANDERSON, Ind. – Seth Bidlack turned in a school-record and conference-leading performance in the 1,000-meter run, and the Yellow Jackets finished second out of 13 teams at the Fred Wilt Memorial Invitational at Anderson University on Saturday. [Results]

Bidlack finished the 1,000-meter run in 2:37.63, beating his own school record by just over a second, for a first-place finish at the meet and the best performance in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference this season.

Trivett set a personal record in the high jump this week with a clearance 6-06.00 (1.98 meters) to move into second place in the conference this season.

In the 55-meter hurdles, Jordan Weber placed third at the meet with a time of 8.36 seconds, and Dan Hardin-Wallace placed fifth, finishing in 8.58 seconds for a top-10 time in the conference this season.

Josh Beaverson led DC's throwers once again with a personal record mark of 45-00.00 in the weight throw. Beaverson's throw ranks sixth in the HCAC this season and fifth in school history.
