TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology sophomore
Jailen Hobbs set a new school record in the 100-meter dash in less than ideal weather conditions to lead a strong performance as the Fightin' Engineers brought home first-place honors at the Fightin' Engineer Early Bird Invitational on Saturday.
In rain and temperatures hovering at 40 degrees, Hobbs set a new school record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.71 seconds, breaking the previous mark of 10.86 by more than one-tenth of a second.
In addition to the 100-meter win, Hobbs also brought home first-place honors in the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.32 seconds.
Kyle Brownell highlighted the remaining four first-place finishers with the No. 3 ranked men's high jump mark in Rose-Hulman history. Brownell cleared 6' 6 3/4" to win the event.
Other Rose-Hulman winners included
Jacob Eve in the 400-meter dash (50.35);
Isaiah Lilje in the javelin (160' 3"); and
Tim Youndt in the triple jump (42' 9").
Prescott Brackett led the runner-up finishers with second-place efforts in the 100 (11.11 seconds) and 200 (22.64) meter dashes.
Other second-place finishers included
Colin Featherby in the triple jump (38' 6");
Cole Patton in the 400-meter hurdles (1:00.21); and Youndt in the 110 hurdles (16.06).
Rose-Hulman topped DePauw and Franklin in second and third place to win the seven team meet. The Fightin' Engineers return to action at Hanover College next weekend.
