Hillsboro, Kan. - The Tabor College Men's Track and Field Team finished second Friday afternoon at the ACCK Meet held on the campus of Bethel College, in North Newton, Kan.


Tabor finished second out of six teams in a field that was made up of the six schools affiliated with the Associated Colleges of Central Kansas.


Tabor was led by sophomore Justin Ball (Welda, Kan.) who won both the 1500 meter and 800 meter races, and also anchored the Bluejays to a second place finish in the 4 x 400 meter relay.


Junior Mike Rousell (New Orleans, La.) had two wins on the day, taking the triple jump and the long jump. The other event winner for Tabor was senior Silas Hibbs (Hays, Kan.) in the pole vault.


Sophomore Zach Gould (Sioux City, Iowa) lowered his school record in the 10K to 35:12.10 and placed second in the event.


"I was very pleased with the men's team and where they finished," said Head Track Coach Dave Kroeker."They competed well and really pulled together in a number of events to score points for their team.A number of athletes competed in events that were not their specialty in order to finish well team wise."


Due to construction on the new athletics stadium, Tabor will host the Tabor College Invitational Wednesday April 15, at Marion High School. However, the throwing events will still be held on the campus of Tabor College.
