Wiggins Sets New 200-meter Record At North Central

Wabash junior Josh Wiggins raced to a new school record in the 200-meter dash Friday evening at the Heenan Indoor Track and Field Invitational at North Central College. The Little Giant team finished third out of nine teams at the meet.
 
Wiggins crossed the finish line in the 200 in 22.53 to break the old mark of 22.60 held by Brady Gossett. Wiggins produced a time of 22.50 earlier this season on a 300-meter track that is the equivalent of 23.52 on a 200-meter surface. Jose Franco and Juan Montenegro joined Wiggins as top-six finishers among the field of 47 runners competing in the event. Franco place fifth with a time of 23.26. Montenegro claimed sixth place by finishing in 23.35.
 
Wiggins joined RaShawn Jones for a 1-2 finish in the finals of the 60-meter hurdles. Jones won the race with a finals time of 8.21 after qualifying with his quickest time this season of 8.18. Wiggins placed second in the finals by finishing in 8.24 for his top career time. Leo Warbington finished fourth in the finals after crossing the finish line with a career-best time of 8.57.  
 
Jared Strehl captured the long jump title with a career-best leap of 6.76 meters (22 feet, 2.25 inches). Gianni Minor finished fourth with a mark of 6.26 meters (20 feet, 6.50 inches). Brandon Peck placed third in the weight throw with a toss of 16.03 meters (52 feet, 7.25 inches). Donnie Mader took fourth place with a top effort of 15.63 meters (51 feet, 3.5 inches) for a career-best mark.
 
Isaiah Campbell earned third place in the shot put with his career-best mark of 14.89 meters (48 feet, 10.25 inches). Peck finished fifth in the shot with a distance of 14.45 meter (47 feet, 5 inches) for his all-time best mark. Kam Ferguson picked up a fifth-place finish in the triple jump with his career-best leap of 13.10 meters (42 feet, 11.75 inches).  
 
Montenegro joined Andrew Young, Franco, and Tyler Ramsey to place fifth in the 4x400-meter relay. The foursome completed the race in 3:26.77.
 
Max Bigler scored a fourth-place finish in the high jump by clearing 1.93 meters (6 feet, 4 inches).  
 
Wabash scored a total of 88.50 points to finish third in the team standings. North Central won the event with 153.50 points with the University of Chicago placing second with a score of 99 points.
 
The Little Giants also sent a group of four runners to compete at the Hoosier Hills Invitational at Indiana University Friday evening. Keith Abramson crossed the finish line in sixth place in the 800-meter run with a career-best time of 1:56.67. Jon Deem-Loureiro finished the 800 in 1:59.72 for 11th place. Ethan Pine took eighth place in the mile run by finishing in 4:21.04 to set a new career-best time. Sam Henthorn finished in 13th place in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:42.38.
