Senior thrower Jacob Mathieson picked up a win in the 35-pound weight throw at 54’ 1 ¾” and Alex Timperly scored a win in the triple jump with a mark of 46’ 8 ¾”. Sophomore Cody Diehl set a new WSC indoor school record in the heptathlon, finishing second with 4,546 points. The previous school record was 4,337 points and set by Jon Dickey in the 2008 indoor season.

Coach Disch's comments: Travis is in his third year with our program. He started his career at Wayne State as a freshman and redshirted. Then he went to New Mexico Junior College for two years and returned to the Wildcats for his last two seasons. He is a sure gloved first baseman that earned All-NSIC Gold Glove honors last spring. Not only does he do well on the baseball field, he also has above a 3.0 grade point average in the classroom. He will hit in the middle of our order and continue to lead by example.
