COLLEGEVILLE, PA – The University of Rochester men's track & field team took home two more event wins and saw another school record fall on the final day of the All-Atlantic Region Outdoor Track & Field Championships, hosted by Ursinus College, on Thursday at the Floy Lewis Bakes Center and Patterson Field.
 
Austin Skeete opened Rochester's day on the track with an event win in the 1,500 meters, besting his previous best time by nearly six seconds with his 3:49.39 time. Skeete's time sits 26th on the NCAA Division III Outdoor Qualifying List, one of two marks the Yellowjackets placed on the list on Thursday.
 
Jacob Bernd also scored for the Yellowjackets in the 1,500 meters, clocking in at 4:00.77, good for eighth.
 
Rochester's other event win came in the decathlon, where Emmett Hansen beat out 14 decathletes with his 6,596-point score. Hansen's tally is a new personal-best mark and ranks 18th on the Outdoor Qualifying List. The sophomore opened his day with eighth and seventh-place finishes in the 110-meter hurdles (16.56s) and (29.61m), before taking fifth in the pole vault (4.00m). Hansen then won the javelin toss with a 50.41m throw and wrapped up the top spot in the decathlon with a 4:33.34 time in the 1,500 meters, good for second and a new PR.
 
Jack Maness and Ashton Tokarski also competed in the decathlon for the 'Jackets, with Maness finishing ninth, and Tokarski bowing out after an injury. Maness set new personal-best marks in three events on Thursday to rack up 5,770 points total, a new PR.
 
The senior finished 11th in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 17.41 seconds, a new PR, and then tallied back-to-back first-place results in the discus (32.39m) and pole vault (4.50m), setting new high marks in both events. Maness then wrapped up the decathlon with a fifth-place finish in the javelin (38.97m) and a ninth-place run in the 1,500 meters (5:13.17) to finish ninth overall.
 
With the indoor shot put record in hand, Ethan Beer wrapped up his outdoor season with the outdoor shot put record, taking seventh in the event with a new, school-record 15.75m throw. Beer's toss broke the previous record, set by Andrew Wunder in 2004, by more than half a meter.
