GAMBIER, OH - It was a day of solid finishes for Wittenberg Men's and Women's Track & Field at the mid-season Duane Gomez Invite, hosted by Kenyon College, and it came less than 24 hours after a similarly productive outing for a small group of Tigers at the Otterbein Twilight.

At the Ottterbein meet, there were a pair of Tiger point-scorers. Cameron Elliott (Springfield, OH / Springfield) won the 400-meter dash, and then he joined Toriano Johnson (Loveland, OH / Kings), Jack Kittle (Chagrin Falls, OH / Chagrin Falls), and Elijah Simmons (Jacksonville, FL / Groveport Madison (OH)) to finish second in the 4x100-meter relay with a school record time of 41.06. The 18 points scored in the two events was good for 13th place out of 23 men's teams entered in the event.

At Kenyon on Saturday, the Tiger men placed third of seven teams with 126.5 points, and the Tiger women placed third of eight teams with 89 points. The individual highlights included:
