Bolivar, Mo. – SBU men's track and field team concluded their GLVC Championships on Saturday afternoon taking 4^th place with 108.66 points.
 
26 of those points came from SBU senior Tyler Hart coming from three different events. Hart started out the weekend with a 3^rd in the hammer throw followed by a 1^st in the shot put. That momentum led to today as he captured 1^st in the discus with a mark of 53.14-meters. With two first place finishes and a third, Hart was voted as the GLVC Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year, the first Bearcat to ever win this award.
 
Another Bearcat to contribute to 30 of SBU's points was sophomore Marcus Jones. He took second place in both the 400-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. His 200-meter time of 20.95 seconds broke a school record. Jones was also a leg in the 4x100-meter relay that two second and the 4x400-meter relay that took 3^rd place.
 
In the first track event of the day, Jones along with Reid Harrison, Angel Dickerson, and Dalvin Adams broke a seven-year-old school record in the 4x100-meter relay. Their time of 40.67 seconds earned them eight points and hit a National mark. In the final event of the day, Jones joined Jordan Noel, Cade Nold, and James Hunter for a 3^rd place finish in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:13.15.
