ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's and women's track and field teams combined for four event wins, 12 top-three finishes and 22 top-five finishes at the Washington University Invitational on Friday.

The effort helped Rose-Hulman place second in the men's team scoring behind just host Washington University.  The women's squad finished seventh overall.

The men's squad picked up four event wins, including three field event wins.  Andrew Okruch captured the discus (155' 8") and was a runner-up in the shot put (46' 4 1/4") to lead the individual performances.

Third-place men's finishers included Nick Palmer in the pole vault (14' 11") and Ben Wewe in the javelin (164' 3").  Ava Paruleski and Gabi Razma led the women's individual finishes with third places in the javelin (102' 3") and triple jump (36' 5 3/4"), respectively.

Camille Blaisdell highlighted the fourth-place finishers with the second-fastest 3,000-meter steeplechase time in Rose-Hulman history (11:56.53).  Lucinda Combs added a fourth in the javelin (97' 2") and Debie Gedeon was fourth in the 100-hurdles (15.40).

On the men's side, fourth-place finishers included Josh Blome in the pole vault (13' 9 1/4"); Fiacable in the discus (140' 8"); Hennig in the 200 (22.45); Matt Hill in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:50.13); and the 4-x-100 relay team in 42.57 seconds.
