The second day of the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships saw Westmont Track and Field rebound from a disappointed opening day. The Warrior performances were highlighted by the men's 4 x 800 relay race in which senior Isaac Thompkins, junior David Donner, junior Evan Bradford and freshman Nathan Evans earned All-American honors with a seventh place finish. The Warriors posted a time of 7:42.79, more than three and one-half seconds faster than yesterday's qualifying time. "Each of them ran faster than they did the day before," noted Westmont head coach Russell Smelley. "They all ran as well as they could today. With Matt Shiney not being able to run, they had to step up and they did. It was very gratifying for them to get the reward they have often wanted." "It feels like a dream come true," said Thompkins. "For a long time, I thought I wouldn't get (All-American), because I had three hamstring injuries throughout the season. It has been a blessing to be out here with these guides. I could not have comeback without my team. There were the low points, but they were always encouraging me and pushing me and being there for me." Sophomore Elysia Hodges turned in the second fastest time in Westmont history to win the first heat of the women's 400 meter trials. Hodges, who posted a time of 54.97, will compete in Saturday's finals at 4:30 p.m. EDT. [men's schedule and results] [women's schedule and results] [Photos]
