Simpson quartet competes at Augustana Qualifier

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. -- The Simpson College men's and women's track and field teams sent a handful of student-athletes to the Augustana Qualifier on Thursday.

Jamie Glanz jumped 5 feet, 1.75 inches for fifth place in the high jump. The height is a career best for the senior.

Ryan Courtney aimed to improve his 3,000-meter steeplechase time, but failed to do so with a 9:28.34 performance for eighth. Courtney missed his career best by six seconds, which he set last week in the American Rivers Conference Championship to earn a runner-up finish.

Spencer Moon collected eighth in the 1,500 meters with a time of 3:57.12. Max Cleveland recorded the Storm's third eighth-place nod of the day, this time in the 110-meter hurdles. The sophomore crossed the finish in 22.54 seconds.

Up Next
Simpson will wait to find out if any student-athletes qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships. The championships will take the top-17 individuals in an event. The competition will take place in Greensboro, N.C. from May 27-29.
