That unit, which included Brian Gautier (Barnegat, N.J./Barnegat Twp.), Nick Manta (North Wales, Pa./Abington Friends School) and Andrew Gethins (Yorktown, N.Y./Lakeland) posted a time of 9:02.89.
Doug Falk (Barnegat, N.J./Barnegat Twp.) finished in a tie for fourth place in the high jump by clearing 6-feet; Troy Browne (Springdale, Md./C.H. Flowers) placed fifth in the 800 meters and his time of 2:04.60 is identical to the indoor school record in the event established back in 2001 by Ryan Mease.
The Gophers placed ninth overall with a team score of 21.5 points.
