Men's Track and Field Finishes Final Tune-ups Before MSC Championships

GEORGETOWN, Ky. - Over the last two weekends, the Georgetown College men's track and field team competed in a pair of meets that served as the final action of the season prior to the Mid-South Conference Championship. The Tigers racked up 25.5 points at the Brescia Bearcat Twilight Invitational, and they followed that up with a trip to the Mount Saint Joseph April Invitational.

Georgetown finished ninth of 13 teams at Brescia, and sixth of seven teams at Mt. St. Joseph.

At Brescia, the Tigers' best performances came in the distance runs. Freshman Elijah Walters posted the best finish of the meet with a second place showing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and teammate Wyatt Gatewood finished seventh in the same event. In the 3,000-meter run a trio of sophomores scored in that event, led by a third place finish from Nick Clark. Ben Knisey and Sam Peoples also scored in that event,

Georgetown also scored in the 4x400-meter relay (sixth) and with a tie for 7th-place in the high jump from Peyton Shotwell.

At Mt. St. Joseph, Kinsey took a win in the 5,000-meter run and scored the only points of the meet for the Tigers.

Georgetown will next take part in the Mid-South Conference Championship at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky. The meet will take place on Sunday, May 1 and Monday, May 2.
