UPLAND, Ind. – The Taylor men's track and field team's day on their home track was a fruitful one, which saw the Trojans record 18 top-10 finishes in 11 different events.

Leading the way for the Trojans at the George Glass Invite was the men's 4x400-meter relay team of Caleb Anthony, Matt Sakeuh, Shauntis Lewis and Darryl Robinson. The squad took top honors at the meet with a time of 3:16.86, which also takes them to the NAIA national championships as a 'B' standard qualifying mark. Sakeuh added to his day by earning a second-place finish in the 400-meter dash with a time of 48.88 seconds and a third-place finish in the long jump with a mark of 6.7 meters. Alongside Sakeuh in the 400, TU picked up two additional top-seven performances with relay teammates Robinson and Anthony taking fourth and seventh place, respectively.

The TU men had a big showing in the 5,000-meter run as Josh Roth, Hunter Smith and Alex Helmuth made up a third of the top-nine finishers. Roth took second in the event with a time of 15:06.95 while Smith and Helmuth finished seventh and ninth.

The Trojans had other notable finishes on the day, including Daniel Gerber and Connor White taking third and fifth in the 1,500-meter run, Jon DeHaan and Noah Zaleski finishing second and seventh in the pole vault, Derek Van Prooyen earning a fourth-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and Gerber and Joey Ferguson both scoring for TU in the 800-meter run.
