FAYETTE, Mo. - The Central Methodist University men's track & field team posted two school records and two NAIA qualifying marks as the Eagles dominated the CMU-Asics Invitational Friday. The CMU women also had an outstanding day, including one school record mark, in finishing third at the meet.

The Central Methodist men scored 180 points in the meet, easily outdistancing second-place Culver-Stockton College, who finished with 95 points. On the women's side, Baker University won the meet with 132 points. CMU finished third with 101, just .5 points behind second-place William Jewell College.
 

Junior Peter Muldoon (Co Cavan, Ireland) and sophomore Mike Hernandez (Balmorhea, Texas) led the Central Methodist men by posting NAIA qualifying times in their respective races. Muldoon finished third in the 5,000-meter race walk with an "A" standard time of 22 minutes, 36.48 seconds. Former CMU All-American Patrick Stroupe won the event in 22:20.14. Hernandez posted a personal- and season-best time of 1:54.55 in the 800m run to win the event. His time was fast enough to achieve the NAIA "B" standard.
 

The CMU men also set two school records on the day. Sophomore John Lehman (Jefferson City, Mo.) broke his own record in the 110m hurdles with a time of 15.30 seconds. Freshman Josh Whitener (Imperial, Mo.), senior Austin Mallott (Odessa, Mo.), sophomore Kevin Couty (Jefferson City, Mo.) and freshman Eric Peer (Stockton, Mo.) teamed up to break the 400m relay record in 42.87 seconds, which was more than .6 seconds faster than the record time the CMU team set the week before.
 

Sophomore Alex Clawson (Brookfield, Mo.), freshman Josh Perry (Linn Creek, Mo.) and junior Lloyd Dugan (Perry, Kan.) also won events for the CMU men at the meet. Clawson jumped 1.86 meters/6-feet-1.25-inches in the high jump, Perry jumped 13.10m/42-11.75 in the triple jump, and Dugan threw 40.36m/132-5 in the discus.
 

On the women's side, freshman Rebeca Barajas (Ashland, Mo.) led the way with top-three finishes in all three of her events. She won the triple jump by leaping nearly a foot farther than her previous school-record mark, finishing with a jump of 11.11m/36-5.5. Barajas also finished second in the long jump and third in the high jump, with marks of 5.09m/16-8.5 and 1.50m/4-11, respectively.
