ST. LOUIS—MBU Men's Track and Field finished fifth (92 points) in the AMC Conference Meet on Friday and Saturday in Greenville, Ill. Individually, three Spartans finished first in their respective events.
 
Kyle Christopher led the way, contributing 23 points in the field events to the team total. The sophomore won the discus event with a total distance of 47.38m. That total was more than three meters better than the second place finisher and a mere .12 cm away from NAIA qualifying standard. Elsewhere, Christopher finished in fourth in both the shotput and the hammer throw and sixth in the javelin. The all-around performance earned Christopher the AMC's Outstanding Male Field Athlete Award.
 
Tremaine Bobo was also in the running for that honor, having added 22 points to the team total. Bobo won the Long Jump by almost a full meter with a final distance of 7.47m. That was enough to meet the NAIA's 'B' qualifying standard for the National Championship. He also won the Triple Jump with a distance of 14.49m, again nearly a full meter better than his next closest competitor.
 
Adam Vincent also met the NAIA's 'B' Qualifying standard when he finished first in the Pole Vault. Vincent bested six other competitors with a height of 4.60m.
 
In the track events, Gerald Moore took third of 19 in the 400m Dash (50.58 seconds) and Elijah McNairy followed suit with a third place finish (out of 12) in the 400m Hurdles (57.41 seconds).
 
The Spartans will be back in action net weekend in Dubuque, Iowa at the Loras College Meet.
