The 4x400m relay consisting of Tre Mitchell III, Michael Barber, Shugarman, and Chase Upmann, placed eighth with a time of 3:25.32.

DISTANCE

Upmann placed second in the 800m with a time of 1:55.89.* Upmann picked up eight team points in the event

Jacob Curulewski placed sixth in the 5000m with a time of 14:55.04.* Curulewski registered

JUMPS

THROWS

Shot put contributed twelve points to the team score with Tyler Rose placing second with a personal best throw of 15.32m.* Lucas Leal placed fifth with a mark of 14.35m.*

Leal placed third in the discus throw with a throw of 45.92m.*

*Performance earned All-CCIW honors

Jacob Brost’s winning throw from day one in the javelin now ranks second on the Carthage all-time list, trailing behind Dan Ledman (2002) at 61.35m.

Freshman Harlan Matson entered the Carthage top ten list with his 9:35.74 performance in Friday’s 3,000m steeplechase. Matson ranks seventh for the Firebirds, passing Cameron Fischer (2023) at 9:36.45.

“While a 5th place finish is a disappointing team result for us,” said Head Coach Josh Henry. “We still had several outstanding performances that shouldn’t go unnoticed.

Jacob [Curulewski] had arguably one of the best distance double performances in school history with a 30:33 10k followed by a 14:55 5k. He is truly an outstanding competitor who put it all out there this weekend.

Another impressive weekend came from Dylan [Parker] in the sprints who qualified for the 400m and 200m finals on day 1. Day 2 consisted of anchoring the 4×100 relay, the 400m finals, and 200m finals an hour later. That was 5 high level races and he left everything out on the track this weekend.

In the throws we had several standout performances led by Jake [Brost] winning the Javelin throw on his last attempt making for a dramatic way to win a conference title. The other performances that really stood out from that group were Tyler [Rose] and Lucas [Leal] in the shot put. Tyler competed very well throwing a lifetime best when it mattered most to become the conference runner up in the event. Lucas also was impressive in the shot for other reasons. This was the first time he competed in the event this year due to an elbow injury. He worked through discomfort to score crucial points for the team and showed a lot of grit.

Probably one of the most unsung performances this weekend came from freshman distance runner Harlan [Matson]. He doubled in the 3k steeple and 1500m, narrowly missing scoring in both. His performance in the steeple ranks seventh in school history and was the top performance in the conference among freshmen. It also is the 12th best performance in NCAA Division III among freshmen this season. Falling short of scoring with a performance of that caliber truly showcases the level of competition in the CCIW.

Overall I’m incredibly proud of how our team competed and how they represent our program on a daily basis. We will be graduating several incredible people who have been outstanding leaders for this team. I would like to thank them for their dedication and leadership over the years. They’re leaving the program with an outstanding culture that’ll help elevate our underclassmen and incoming freshmen class. The future is bright for the Firebirds.”

Carthage men’s track & field will be back in action Friday May 9, at the Penultimate Qualifier hosted by Augustana (Ill.) in Rock Island, Ill. For more information, visit athletics.carthage.edu.

TCU had no answer for USC as they lost their first game of the regional 13-1.

This is a start that Tommy LaPour wanted to forget. He went three innings while allowing three runs on six hits with one walk and five strikeouts. He also hit two batters.

USC got on the board first in the second inning with an RBI single from catcher Richard Tejeda, who brought second baseman Abbrie Covarrubias in. This made the score 1-0.

The Trojans would add on in the fourth inning, making the score 3-0. Right fielder Jack Basseer hit a RBI single, bringing Covarrubias home. Which was followed up by a fielder’s choice from third baseman Ethan Hedges.

TCU would finally get on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run from designated hitter Sawyer Strosnider. He pulled the call and deposited it into right field. This made the TCU’s deficit 4-1, the closest TCU would get.

USC would pile on in the sixth inning. Shortstop Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek would single with the bases loaded and bring Tejeda in. First baseman Adrian Lopez would continue the scoring as he would single and bring center fielder Brayden Dowd in.

Covarrubias would cap off the inning with a sacrifice fly to bring in Hedges and give USC a 6-1 lead.

The game would not improve for TCU as USC tacked on a pair of three-run innings in the seventh and ninth innings. The Horned Frogs pitchers shot themselves in the foot in those innings as they walked five batters, hit two and had a throwing error.

The Frogs must improve to extend its run in the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament. TCU will be in the loser’s bracket of the regional, so TCU will have to win out to win the regional. TCU will play Oregon State Saturday at 2 p.m. on ESPN+.

Klebe's NCAA Run Concludes In Saturday Quarterfinals

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Abby Klebe’s outstanding junior season came to an end Saturday evening in the quarterfinal round of the 800 meters at the NCAA East First Round at Hodges Stadium. Klebe once again broke her own school record in Thursday’s first round, securing the final spot among the 24 runners that advanced to Saturday’s quarterfinals.

Klebe ran 2:03.96 in heat 2 of 6 Thursday afternoon, finishing fourth in her heat by .28 seconds. The top three runners in each of six heats plus the next six fastest times overall advanced to the quarterfinals. She had to sweat out the results of the remaining six heats, ultimately finishing 21st overall and securing the last qualifying spot.

On Saturday, Klebe ran in the third of three heats, battling against a fast pace that saw the top two finishers in the heat break the two-minute mark. Ultimately, Klebe’s time of 2:07.79 ranked seventh in her heat and 23rd overall.

The NCAA First Round performance caps an outdoor season where Klebe won her third consecutive Patriot League outdoor title in the 800m. She lowered her own school record on four occasions: the Bison Outdoor Classic in April, the Patriot League Championships, the Princeton Elite Invitational and Thursday in Jacksonville. Klebe also won the indoor 800m Patriot League title and is a two-time champion and school record holder on the indoor track.
