SAN FRANCISCO Calif.  – Over 15 personal records were broken, including seven in the 100m event, as the Bushnell men's track & field team had their biggest ever contingent compete at the Mike Fanelli Track Classic, hosted by San Francisco State University.  
 
Leading the way was a familiar face as sophomore Kaleo Wellman once again broke his school record in the Long Jump beating an 18-man field by 16 innings to win the event at 7.41 meters (24-3.75). Wellman surpasses the NAIA's "A" qualification standard for the first time and finds himself at No. 7 on the national performance list.
 
Wellman was also one of the seven runners to set new personal bests in the 100-meter dash, joining David Johnson, Maui Richmond, Ty Kishen, Malachi Larson, Taylor Jackson, and Brett Olmstead. Bushnell is still looking for their first Cascade Conference qualifier in the event.
 
Kishen made an even bigger splash in the triple jump as he won that event with a winning jump of 14.04m (46-0.75).
 
Three new CCC qualifications were obtained during the event, led by Logan Gant in the 3000m Steeplechase as he finished 29 seconds under his previous best time, running a 10:03.60.
 
Johnson earned a qualification in the long jump, becoming the fifth Beacon to qualify in the event as he jumped 6.39 meters (20-11.75).
 
The final new qualification for conference came in the high jump as freshman Maui Richmond cleared the bar at 1.79m (5-10.50) for a new personal best and his second CCC ticket (long jump).
 
Director of Track & Field Kyle Will said, "We had a great day today with new qualifiers from Maui and DJ, and after scratching his first three jumps, Kaleo jumped out of his mind on his final attempt. I am really excited. I think today is going to be a launching pad for the next three or four weeks as we finish up our season."
 
UP NEXT: Bushnell will return to action on April 11-12, traveling to Monmouth to take part in Western Oregon University's John Knight Twilight.
