[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Falland and Versen earn national runner-up honors

Randy Strawser — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 10:00:00 -0600

(Geneva, Ohio) The final day of the NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships was the best in Cornerstone history as the Golden Eagles flew to a top ten in the team standings on the strength of second place finishes in the mile and 400 meters along with points from two relays.

In the first event of the day, Louis Falland made is bid to win the mile. After a pedestrian 70 seconds for the first 400 meters and an equally slow 800 meter split of 2:13, the pace dropped to :60 for the next 400 with five men still in contention. With 200 meters remaining Falland got a bit of a jostle on the backstretch, then forced his way into the open and away from trouble. Coming off the last turn, Adam Godwin of Oklahoma Baptist, the 2012 defending champion was building a slight lead while Falland moved into lane two to get around Derrick Williams of Carroll College. Pushing all the way to the line, Falland came up just short as Godwin got the win in 4:10.84 to Falland's 4:12.18. Louis covered the last 400 meter in :58 and 1:58 for the second half. "That was as good a race as he could ask for," said CU Coach Rod Wortley. "To get second in his first mile final to someone who has won before is impressive."

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Risch�s rush ruins record

Randy Strawser — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:00:00 -0600

(Geneva, Ohio) The race walk is usually not the most exciting event at NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships. This year the 3,000 meter event rivaled the relays for drama. From the gun three men sent an aggressive pace. Cornerstone's Cody Risch along with Nick Christie and Alejandro Chavez of Missouri Baptist flew through the first half of the race in just over six minutes, well under meet record pace. The lead changed every few laps as each man tried repeatedly to break the other two. On the penultimate lap, Christie moved past Risch again and pried open a five meter gap. At the bell lap Chavez shot past Risch putting the senior and 2012 national runner up in third. With 200 meters remaining, Cody launched into a determined kick. Coming off the last turn, all three converged onto the final straightaway. Risch using momentum and incredible desire retook the lead. Christie and Chavez didn't relent. Risch reached the finish line in an incredible 11:57.54. Christie was second in 11:59.73 and Chavez third in 12:00.57. As the trio sprawled on the track, reaping the results of their efforts, the announcer noted that all three were under the championship meet record.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Relays advance to finals

Randy Strawser — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:00:00 -0600

(Geneva, Ohio) The opening day of the 2013 NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships proved productive for the Cornerstone relay teams. Qualified in the 4 x 400, 4 x 800 and distance medley relays, the men advanced to Saturday's finals in two.

After just missing the final in the 4 x 400 meters last season, the Golden Eagles returned Eric Schroeder, Ryan Versen and Zach Yeo and added Spencer Perry. Running in the first of two heats, the men needed to finish first or second or have one of next four fastest times in the field of 16.

Schroeder's lead off leg of 49.2 and Perry's 49.9 put the Golden Eagles in the middle of the pack at the second exchange. Senior, Zach Yeo's 48.9 set up things up perfectly for Versen who userd a 47.3 effort to reach the finish in 3:15.61. The time broke the school record of 3:15.78 set three weeks earlier at the GVSU Big Meet and placed third in their heat. As the fifth fastest time the men qualified by time for Saturday's final.

Aimee Luurtsema — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:55:00 -0600

After finishing fourth in the 2013 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships, 17 Golden Eagles will participate in the NAIA National Championships on Feb. 28-March 1.

After receiving the prestigious Performer of the Meet award during the WHAC Championships, Louis Falland hopes to continue his success during the weekend while participating in the mile and relay events.

Jared Courtright cruised through the 5000 meters, earning his first WHAC Indoor title in 15:11.77. Courtright will look to cruise through the event again this coming weekend.

During a successful distance medley relay clocking a final time of 10:32.62, Zach Bourdon, Alex Macias, Tyler Grey and Thomas Bambach will participate in the National Championship this weekend and hope to improve their time.

Spencer Perry took the runner up spot in the 600 with a personal best and NAIA provisional qualifying time of 1:22. 63, while Zach Yeo was second in the 800 meters in 1:58.48 during the WHAC Championships. Both men will race during nationals this weekend as well. Eric Schroeder will join the team in Geneva after running a new best 7:01 in the 60 meter dash, taking fourth in the conference championship.

Senior Bryant Langdon placed fourth in the 35-pound weight throw during the WHAC Championships. Langdon sent the ball 54' 8.3/4" and will represent Cornerstone in the field events this weekend.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Falland and Distance Men Dominate WHAC Championship

Aimee Luurtsema — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 09:00:00 -0600

ANGOLA, IN (2/16) The Golden Eagles won every event 1,000 meter and longer at the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships. Louis Falland led the team with three wins earning the Performer of the Meet award.

In the first event, the distance medley relay, most teams save their best runners for other events so the outcome is often a surprise. Zach Bourdon, Alex Macias and Tyler Grey completed the 1200, 400 and 800 meter legs, leaving Thomas Bambach the 1600 meters and a closable gap behind Indiana Tech. The sophomore from Allendale ran a 4:23 anchor split, taking the lead in the final 400 meters giving CU the win in 10:32.62.

Next up, Jared Courtright cruised through the 5,000 meters, taking control with a 65 second final 400 and earning his first WHAC indoor title in 15:11.77. "Jared has run some outstanding races at WHAC meets in his career, coming within inches of winning on several occasions," said coach Rod Wortley. "It was great to see him go out and not just win, but control the outcome. Seniors have a way of doing that."

Then Falland took over. As the top seed by over ten seconds in the mile, no one was willing to push the pace ahead of him and the field jogged through the first half in 2:30. Louis eased the gas pedal toward the floor with laps of 33, 29 and 30 before accelerating away with a 28 second last 200 meters making it 2:00 for the last 800 of the race. His winning time was just 4:30.26 and left plenty of energy for his next two events. Ninety minutes later, Louis lined up for the 1,000 meters. This time the pace was more ambitious with the leaders running 62 seconds for the first 400 meters. As he did in the mile, Grant Gunneson of Aquinas tried to pull even in the last 200, but Falland would have none of it, closing with a 28.4 lap to win in 2:34.51.

To accomplish the distance events sweep, Falland needed to win the 3000 meters, 45 minutes after the 1k. To add difficulty to the challenge, the Australian would have to run in the first heat instead of the faster second heat. "We were hoping for the 3k to scratch down to just 25 guys so there could be one heat," said CU distance coach, Nate Van Holten. "Louis didn't run a 3k this season so if it split into two heats he would be in the slower one because he didn't have a seed time." Teammate, Jared Holmberg who was also in the first heat got the job of being Falland's pacesetter for as long as possible. He got in four laps at 36 seconds and Falland took over. Louis won by 15 seconds in 8:49.92, a new personal best, then waited to see what the fast heat could do. A pack of three broke away in the final laps with Aquinas' Jacob Towne hitting the line in 8:54.54, giving Falland his third win of the meet. For his 30 points, Louis earned the WHAC Performer of the Meet trophy for the highest point total.

While CU runners didn't win the 600 or the 800 meters, they did put a man second in both races. Spencer Perry took the runner up spot in the 600 with a personal best and NAIA provisional qualifying time of 1:22.63. Zach Yeo was second in the 800 meters in 1:58.48.

While Indiana Tech dominated the sprint events, senior Eric Schroeder broke up a 1-5 Tech sweep in the 60 meter dash running a new best 7.01 for fourth.

Senior Bryant Langdon and freshman Mike Mahon placed fourth and fifth in the 35 pound weight throw. Langdon sent the ball 54' 8.3/4" and Mahon broke his freshman record on his first and sixth attempts. The mark now stands at 50' 4".

The evening concluded with Schroeder, Perry, Versen and Yeo combining for second in the 4 x 400 meter relay with a time of 3:21.77.

Indiana Tech took the team title with 198 points followed by Siena with 132.5, Aquinas at 95.5 and Cornerstone at 94. Davenport was fifth scoring 24 followed by newcomers, Marygrove with 12 and Concordia with 1 point.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Three School Records Fall Friday at GVSU Big Meet

Randy Strawser — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:00:00 -0600

(Allendale, Mich.) The opening day of the Big Meet hosted by Grand Valley State University yielded big results for the Cornerstone Men's Track & Field team. Led by Louis Falland's school record and NAIA leading performance in the mile, three CU school records fell amid five national qualifying performances.

Undefeated in individual events this season, Louis Falland faced his best competition of the year in the second heat of the invitational mile. At the gun, the fifteen men jostled their way off the starting line trying to establish position. The flying elbows and tangled feet caused several runners to stumble and the starter wisely fired a recall shot. The clerk rearranged the field into two rows, creating more space on the line and the second start was successful. After covering the opening lap in a quick 46.3, the pace settled in at 47 seconds for the next three laps with Falland finding his way into third. Then as he has done all season, Louis bolted to the front, cruising through the final 400 meters in 59.1 seconds to win going away. His time of 4:07.57 won the heat and was the fifth fastest time overall. In addition, Falland regained his spot as the top miler in the NAIA and broke the CU school record. The old mark of 4:08.96 was set in 2007 by Derek Scott, who texted his congratulations to Falland shortly after the race.

Running in the fourth heat of the invitational 400 meters, Ryan Versen plowed through the competition in the final 150 meters, winning the heat and taking sixth overall. His time of 48.50 bettered the school record of 48.90 he set last season and was well under the NAIA automatic qualifying standard.

Zach Yeo finished fourth in the 600 meters, his 1:21.07 improving his NAIA provisional qualifying mark. Spencer Perry (1:23.38 / 11^th), Zach Bourdon (1:23.51 / 13^th) and Tyler Grey (1:26.71 / 25^th) also recorded new best times.

In the 5000 meters, Jared Courtright moved to the top five on the NAIA list with a huge personal best of 14:47.04. Ben Foreman also raced well, improving his PR by 13 seconds, clocking 15:38.23.

The evening ended with the always exciting 4 x 400 meter relay. Senior, Eric Schroeder's 49.1 lead off leg put CU in great position. Perry held form with his 49.6 effort then Versen blasted to the lead with an incredible 47.2 split. Zach Yeo needed only 49.7 to bring the baton to the finish line in a new school record 3:15.78. The old mark of 3:16.93 was set last year at this meet by Schroeder, Adam Duerksen, Versen and Yeo. Cornerstone took second in their heat and tenth out overall out of the four invitational heats.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Falland Flies at IWU

Randy Strawser — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:10:00 -0600

(Marion, Ind.) Louis Falland put his name near the top of another event on the NAIA national qualifying lists, taking a teammate with him at the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Indiana Wesleyan University.

Looking for a fast time in the 1,000 meters, Cornerstone entered 400 meter runner, Nicholas Hayes to ensure a fast pace. Hayes played the role of the rabbit to perfection leading through the first 400 meters in 57.4 before peeling off on the backstretch as Louis took the lead. The Australian kept control of the rest of the way, covering the last 400 meters in 59.4, winning in 2:29.32. Behind him, Matt Adair from Indiana Tech and CU's Zach Bourdon battled for second and third with Bourdon claiming his first NAIA automatic qualifier in an individual event finishing third in 2:31.50. Falland's time is the second fastest in the NAIA this season.

Ryan Versen and Spencer Perry took second and fourth in the 400 meters with Versen clocking 49.89 to Perry's 51.96. In the 600 meters, Zach Yeo earned a provisional qualifying mark with his runner up finish time of 1:22.01.

In the seldom run 4 x 200 meter relay, Versen put the Golden Eagles in front and freshmen Tyler Kubik, Austin Hazen and Jon Brinks maintained that position, running 1:33.32 for the win.

Eric Schroeder improved his long jump best to 21' 7.25" to take third. Logan Norton was fourth in both the triple jump and the pole vault. His 40' 9.75" effort was new best in the triple jump and he cleared 14' 6" in the vault.

In the throws circle, Bryant Langdon took second in the 35 pound weight throw improving his NAIA provisional mark to 54' 8.75". Mike Mahon took sixth, breaking his freshman record on each of his last two attempts, extending the mark to 48' 6.25".

Versen, Perry, Bourdon and Yeo combined for second in the 4 x 400 meter relay, running 3:24.70.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Risch Erases School Record in the Race Walk

Randy Strawser — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:00:00 -0600

(Cedarville, Ohio) The Cornerstone University men's race walkers went three-for three at the Cedarville Collegiate Invitational with each athlete accomplished what they set out to do.

Senior, Cody Risch improved his time from the previous week, breaking the school record, recording the fastest time in the NAIA this season and defeating two men who walked at the Olympic Trials last June. "Cody looked phenomenal," said Coach Nate Van Holten. "He went right to the front and commanded the race against Mike Mannozzi and Dan Serianni. To go that fast was very impressive since it was really a solo effort."

Risch won in 12:04.83, breaking the school record of 12:20.49 set by Kris Shear in 2011.

After waiting a month for his eligibility to process, sophomore, Nate Vanderwall made the most of this first competition of the season. He placed fourth, lowered his personal best to 13:41.64, over thirty seconds under the NAIA automatic qualifying standard. Classmate Issac Withrow just missed getting his qualifier the previous week and made every effort to not repeat that experience. He stayed on pace most of the fifteen laps and made a big push over the final 200 meters to finish in 15:13.94, achieving a provisional qualifying mark by 1.06 seconds.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Five qualifiers and two school record performances at SPIRE

Randy Strawser — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 21:00:00 -0600

(Geneva, Ohio) The second day of competition at the Spire Midwest Indoor Track & Field Open began like the first day ended: with Cornerstone winning a relay. This time it was Tyler Grey, Louis Falland, Zach Bourdon and Zach Yeo holding off Edinboro in the 4 x 800 meters 7:56.17 to 7:56.98. The time was under the NAIA provisional standard and the first of five national qualifying events for the day.

CU's top 400 meter runner, Ryan Versen moved up to the 600 meters and raced it to perfection taking the lead in the homestretch and getting the win and a provisional qualifier. His time of 1:22.17 puts him second on the CU all-time list.

In the pole vault, Logan Norton broke his school record from last year, clearing 15' 1" on his third attempt. He also had two good attempts at 15' 7".

Cornerstone throwers had a good day in the circle. Ross Raymond's third attempt in the shot put measured 45' 7.25" giving him the school record after some near misses this season. He added over a foot to the old mark of 44' 4" set by Joel Leong in 2009. Senior Bryant Langdon came into the meet looking for a national qualifying mark in the 35 pound weight throw and got it on his third throw. His 54' 4.5" attempt gave him second place and bettered the NAIA provisional standard.

The final two events were the most exciting. In the 3,000 meters, Jared Courtright was looking to better the NAIA automatic qualifying time of 8:40.80. Needing to average just under 52 seconds per lap, the senior found himself in the hole when the field went out in 54 seconds for the opening lap. For the next five laps Jared raced in the pack just behind the leaders then made a bold move on the backstretch to break free as the pace started to slow. "On the bell lap I saw the clock and it was the same time as I had at nationals last year," Courtright said. "I knew I needed to have a great last 300." A determined sprint produced a 46 second final circuit and 2012 All-American in the event was rewarded with the qualifying time, a new PR of 8:37.28 and a fourth place finish.

The final highlight of the meet came in the 4 x 400 meter relay with Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference rivals, Cornerstone, Indiana Tech and Siena Heights in the fast heat. Tech had the best day taking second in 3:16.31 while CU's quartet of Eric Schroeder, Bourdon, Versen and Yeo nailed one more automatic qualifying mark, running 3:18.38 for third. Siena was fourth in 3:20.06.

The team travels to Indiana Wesleyan University for their next meet, February 2.

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Distance Medley Relay Smashes School Record

Randy Strawser — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:00:00 -0600

(Geneva, Ohio) The opening night of the SPIRE Midwest Indoor Track & Field Open features just two events. The Cornerstone University Men scored a convincing win in one of them, lowering the school record in the process.

As he has the last four seasons, Jared Courtright led off the Distance Medley relay, running the 1200 meter leg in 3:10 which put the Golden Eagles in a three-way battle for the lead. Ryan Versen split 48 seconds for the 400 meter section as the top three remained tightly bunched. Zach Yeo held form with his 1:58 effort for 800 meters before passing off to Louis Falland. The junior eased his way to the front after 1200 meters then dropped the hammer for a 59 second final 400. His time for 1600 meter was an amazing 4:10 and opened a five second gap on Edinboro in second place.

CU's time of 10:06.35 demolished the school record of 10:11.72 set in 2010 by Courtright, Jacob Erickson, Yeo and Zach Ripley.

"This is the weekend when we like to see the national qualifying marks," said coach Rod Wortley. "This sets a great tone for tomorrow."

[Men's Indoor Track & Field] Falland Finishes Fastest Mile in the NAIA

Randy Strawser — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:10:00 -0600

(Allendale, Mich.) After spending three weeks in the South Australia summer over the holidays, Louis Falland returned to North American winter ready to run some hot times. The first race of the indoor season for the native of Nuriootpa, Australia at the Grand Valley State University Mike Lints Open was blazing.

Falland took the lead early in the race then held a steady, aggressive pace. He easily fought off a challenge in the final 400 meters covering that distance in 60 seconds. He winning time of 4:15.28 not only bettered the NAIA automatic qualifying mark, it is the fastest time by an NAIA miler this season and moves Falland to second the Cornerstone all-time list.

Mike Mahon put his name at the top of the list with breaking the freshman record in the 35 pound weight throw. After a personal best of 47' 5.75" on his first attempt, Mahon's third throw measured 48' 2.75" breaking the old record of 47' 8.5" set in 2009 by Steve Tuttle.

The Golden Eagles got a pair of wins from their top long sprinters. In the 400 meters, Ryan Versen powered past Northwood's Travis Blunt in the final fifty meters winning in 49.38. Senior, Zach Yeo also used his great kick to improve his PR and position on the NAIA qualifying list, winning the 800 meters in 1:55.76.

Senior, Zach Bourdon improved to 1:23.70 in the 600 meters placing 12^th with freshman Alex Macias 18^th in a PR 1:26.88.

In the long distance events, senior, Jared Coutright led wire to wire to in the 5,000 meters in 15:19.03. Classmate, Tavis Mabe ran a new best in the 3000 meters of 8:54.33.

In the 4 x 400 meter relay, Spencer Perry led off ahead of Bourdon, Versen and Yeo. The Golden Eagles took fourth in a season best 3:21.86.
