School Records Fall for Harding Men at Washburn Open

TOPEKA, Kan. – Two school records, an event victory and four NCAA provisional marks were among the highlights for the Harding men's indoor track and field team over the weekend at the Washburn Open.
Meet Highlights
  • Sophomore Antiwain Jones broke a 34-year-old Harding record Saturday in the high jump. Jones cleared an NCAA provisional height of 2.12 meters or 6 feet, 11.50 inches, breaking the old mark of 6 feet, 10.50 inches, set by Harding Hall of Famer Te Howard in 1989. Jones is tied for eighth nationally in the high jump.
  • Freshman Vlad Malykhin won the pole vault, clearing 5.17 meters or 16 feet, 11.50 inches in a jump-off. It is his second event victory in three competitions this season. Malykhin is tied for fifth nationally in the pole vault.
  • Junior Tad Kirby broke his own school record in the 200 meters, finishing in 21.98. He set the previous record at 22.00 at Pittsburg State on Jan. 20.
  • Junior Dakarai Bush placed fifth in the 400 meters in an NCAA provisional time of 48.25 seconds. His season-best time of 48.23 came at Pittsburg State on Jan. 20 and ranks 15th in Division II.
  • Sophomore Luke Walling placed ninth in the 5,000 meters in 15:07.57. It was a new indoor PR.
  • Bush clocked another provisional time in the 60-meter hurdles, finishing second in 8.00 seconds, .01 seconds off his season-best time. He ranks 13th nationally in the event.
  • Harding's team of Arnaud des Boscs, Bush, Tiag Campney and Zach Reed placed second in the distance medley relay in 10:17.13. It was Harding's best DMR time this season.
  • Juniors Ben Ferris and Jonathan Wall tied for fourth in the pole vault. They cleared 4.64 meters or 15 feet, 2.75 inches. Senior Paul David Quillin was 10th at 4.34 meters or 14 feet, 2.75 inches.
