Four Central College track and field athletes competed Wednesday in the opening events of the Gregory Invitational hosted by North Central College (Ill.).

Already No. 7 on Central’s outdoor 5,000-meter run record board with a time of 14 minutes, 52.95 seconds, Nate Sanders was vying to go even lower on that list. Alas, he clocked in at 15:29.68 to place third Wednesday night.
Adam Sylvia was fifth in the same event (15:48.54).

Kennedy Morris won the discus throw with a toss of 138 feet, 8 inches. She was also 10th in the hammer throw (143-4). Theo Baldus (junior, St. Ansgar) was third in the discus throw (145-6) and ninth in the hammer throw (144-3).

Morris and Baldus will join a larger contingent of Central athletes Thursday at the Augustana Twilight Qualifier.
