5/2/2026 10:17:00 PM

Bolivar, Mo. – SBU men's track and field team concluded their GLVC Championships on Saturday afternoon taking 4th 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 3rd in the hammer throw followed by a 1st in the shot put. That momentum led to today as he captured 1st 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 3rd 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 3rd place finish in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:13.15.
 
This Championship concluded the 2026 Track and Field season for a majority of the Bearcats. Now only a few will await and see if their marks from this Championship or earlier in the season is strong enough to make it to the 2026 National Championship.
