Men's Track and Field
ASHLAND, Ore. – Chris Martinez hit the Cascade Conference qualifying mark in the pole vault, as the Oregon Tech men's track and field team competed at the Raider Invitational, hosted by Southern Oregon.
 
Martinez placed sixth overall in the event, with his season-best mark of 4.10 meters (13 feet, 5.25 inches) easily meeting the league standard.
 
"Our men put together some solid marks today and are moving in the right direction," said OIT assistant, Bill Reinhard.
 
Jose Ignacio continued his stellar season, placing second overall in the javelin (57.70 meters / 189 feet, 3 inches), while Toby Ruston won his section of the 5,000-meters (15:44.07).
 
On the track, Patrick Giraudo had a solid time of 11.46 seconds in the 100-meters, Owen Lien missed the CCC mark in the 400-meters by 0.02 seconds (50.77), Tychon Preston raced well in the 1,500-meters (4:22.01), with Thomas Long (16:06.57) and Max Cox (16:55.63) each running in the 5,000-meters.
 
The Owls will have a split squad next week – as Thomas Dodgen will head to La Grande for the Cascade Conference Multi-Event Championships, while the rest of the team travels to Chico State for the Chico Distance Carnival and Twilight.
