Metro Roundup: Rose senior caps career with school-record run

Bloomington — Rose-Hulman senior Matt Repking capped his track and field career with a school record Friday night to highlight the Engineers’ final meet of the 2008 season, the Billy Hayes Invitational at Indiana University.

Repking ran a time of 9:28.57 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase to place seventh overall against a predominately Division I field. His time topped the previous mark set by Barry Wallen in 1982 by a two-second margin.

Janel Belton added a 10th place finish in the women’s discus throw to round out the Engineer efforts.
