April 17, 2021-The Emporia State men and women combined for eight event championships, 13 runner-up finishes and four provisional qualifiers as they swept the team titles at the Midwest Classic at Witten Track/Welch Stadium on Saturday.  The Hornet men scored 200 points to out distance Cloud County CC by 73 points while the Emporia State women outscored Fort Hays State 156.50 – 146.50 for the championships. Both programs showed depth across the board with a win or runner up finish on the track, in the jumps, and in the throws.
 
Alyssa Conway continued her climb up the all-time list on the hammer at Emporia State.  She won the event with a personal best of 184-08 (56.29m) to maintain her third place spot and pull within four inches of Lynda Barnard for second on the all-time list.

Megan McManis and Allie Barrett finished 1-2 with a provisional qualifying clearance of 12-02.50 (3.72m) in the women's pole vault.  McManis earned the championship based on misses.  McManis is already the school record holder at 12-07.50 while Barrett moved into third on the Emporia State all-time list as she passed Iva Shepherd who cleared 12-00.75 at the 2017 MIAA Championships.

Juwan Johnson won the 100m dash with a time of 10.80 to give the Emporia State men an individual win on the track. 
 
Kaleb Barber went 23-04.50 (7.12m) in the long jump for the Hornet men's lone field event win.
 
Travis Morrison had another provisional qualifier with a mark of 58-02.00 (17.73m) in the men's shot put to finish second.

The Hornet men had five runner-up finishes on the track. Matthew Maki ran 31:13.89 in the 10,000m and is currently ranked fifth in the MIAA in the event. Taysean Goodwin finished second with a time of 49.07 in the 400m while Jared Reinke ran 4:01.07 to place second in the 1500m.  Emporia State had the runner-up in both hurdle races for the men as well.  Xavier Hall ran 14.58 in the 110m hurdles while Chase Rooney was clocked in 54.44 in the 400m hurdles.
