Last Saturday, the Whitworth Pirates track and field team traveled to Vandal Stadium at the University of Idaho for a tune-up track meet. Following the final gunshot, two Pirates emerged as winners of their respective events.
Junior Brandon Howell participated in the 800-meter run and finished with a time of 1:52.90. Howell raced to a personal best this season after breaking last week's time of 1:54.26. He qualified for the 800-meter race at the Division III championships last week.
Freshman Cody Stelzer finished with a height of 2.02 meters in the men's high jump. Stelzer finished just three hundredths of a meter short of his best jump of 2.05 last weekend at the University of Washington Open. With the victory, Stelzer improves to three top finishes out of four indoor events and is making a case for an invitation to the Division III Indoor Championships later this spring.
Only a handful of Pirates competed in the track meet because this was a tune-up before the season begins.
This weekend the Pirates will be split into two teams, red and black. Those two teams will compete against each other at 3 p.m. this Friday.
