Oklahoma Christian showed out this weekend's two-day event hosted by Washburn University.
 
Chaney Martin opened the Washburn Open for the Eagles by taking second place in the Heptathlon, with a school-record performance that broke the school record he set last year. His performance was also a national qualifying mark, and he is now currently ranked 12th in the nation in the event.
 
Verrell McBride took 5th in the Men's 200 Meter Dash with a time of 21.71, just .2 seconds off the provisional mark.
 
Owen Pearce brought home third place in the 5000 Meter Run with a time of 14:38.65.
 
The junior transfer and freshman shined in the Women's 5000 Meter Run, as Elizabeth Heffernan and Caroline Karr finished in 1st and 2nd place with times of 17:40.06 and 17:57.64, respectively. Heffernan finished almost a minute ahead of the third-place finisher.
 
Heffernan also finished fourth in the mile with a time of 5:07.47.
 
Dylan Burrows finished in 2nd place in the mile with a provisional time of 4:09.22.
 
Torrion Montgomery finished 9th in the Men's Long Jump with a jump of 6.93m.
 
Wyatt Thiel finished 6th in the high jump.
 
THOUGHTS FROM COACH MILLER
 
We had a good opportunity for most of our team to get on a banked track for the first time this season and get some experience for our conference and national meet which will both be on banked tracks. We had quite a few strong performances throughout the meet and Chaney really put together a strong weekend in the Hep!
