Bolivar, Mo. – The SBU men's track and field team competed in their annual Bearcat Invite Saturday afternoon against 14 other teams. The Bearcats dominated the event taking 1^st place with a total of 129.50 points. This was due to 11 top three finishes in the meet.
 
One of the highlight events for the day was the 100-meter dash, where two indoor National qualifiers in Angel Dickerson and Marcus Jones finished back-to-back. Dickerson led the two, winning the event with a time of 10.54 seconds, just .07 seconds behind the Division II provisional mark. Jones took 2^nd in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.65 seconds.
 
Despite running both the semifinals and finals earlier in the day, that didn't slow Jones down in the 200-meter dash. He dominated this event running a time of 20.97 seconds taking first place. He also hit a National mark in this event which currently ranks 10^th in the Nation.
 
The Duchscherer brothers splashed their way to top finishes in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, finishing in the top two spots. The older of the two, Gavin Duchscherer, took 1^st place overall with a time of 9:07.74 hitting a National mark in the process. Landon Duchscherer finished just a little behind his brother at 9:19.29 in 2^nd place.
