GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Spring Arbor University's men's Track & Field team competed in the Mike Lints Open hosted by Grand Valley State University on Friday evening.  While the meet was an un-scored event, there were several outstanding performances by the Cougars.

Nathan Martin shattered his own school record in the 3000m run.  The old mark of 8:20.12 set in 2011 was 5.99 seconds faster than Tony Luttrell's mark set way back in 1976.  Martin bettered his mark by 5.2 seconds on Friday night with a new mark of 8:14.92.

It didn't take long for Ian Miller to make his presence known at SAU when Miller placed 7^th out of 25 runners in the 600m run with a time of 1:22.19.  That pace was good enough for the 4^th fastest time in Cougar history just 4.11 seconds behind the record of 1:19.10 set by David Rotich in 2004.

Garrett Reid made his mark in the Spring Arbor University record books with a 60m run time of 7.31.  While Reid placed 19^th place out of 43 rubbers in the event, the time is the 5^th fastest in Spring Arbor University history.

The men are back in action on Saturday, January 26^th in Marian, IN at the Indiana Wesleyan Invitational.
