WARRENSBURG, Mo. – Back in action for the third straight weekend, the Missouri Baptist University men's track & field team collected two Top-10 finishes, three Top-20 finishes, and near double-digit PRs on Friday at the ever-popular UCM Mule Relays.

Lee Heung and Wyatt were the next highest finishers taking 11^th in the in triple jump and 10,000-meter run, respectively. Eliott dropped more than a minute and ½ from the last time he ran the 10,000 (2021 CMU Invite). The sophomore transfer crossed the finish line in 32:16.08.
 
Senior Trey Peugout finished right behind Elliott in the 10,000, and like Elliott, took off 1-minute, 30 seconds from his last 10,000-meter performance.
