For the second straight day, the Muhlenberg track and field teams swept a field event at the Centennial Conference Championships.

After winning both the men's and women's hammer on the opening day of the meet, the Mules took both high jumps on the second day. Sophomore Avery McNulty captured gold for the women, and graduate student John Reichenbach followed suit for the men.

McNulty (pictured top right) cleared her first attempt at 5-3¾ to set an outdoor personal best and beat out a Johns Hopkins jumper who needed a second try to clear the height. It was the third consecutive CC gold for McNulty, who won outdoors in 2023 and indoors earlier this year.

All but two other competitors had been eliminated by the time Reichenbach (pictured top left) entered the high jump competition, and he was the only one to clear that height, 6-2¼. He went on to clear four more heights, eventually setting a meet record of 6-9½.

Reichenbach also took first place in the long jump (pictured bottom left), recording the winning mark of 23-2 on his first jump. Reichenbach is Muhlenberg's first-ever outdoor CC champion in the long jump and the sixth athlete in CC history to double in the high jump and the long jump. No Mule had won two open events at the same outdoor CC meet since 2011, and no one had accomplished that feat in two field events since 2005.

The men's quartet of seniors Noah Halterman-Mitchell and Charles Ohanian and freshmen David Seel and Raam Ravishankar (pictured left to right, bottom right) won a silver medal in a thrilling 4x800-meter race that had three schools in contention for first place heading into the final straightaway. Their time of 7:50.97 was the fourth-best in program history.

The men's team qualified runners for Sunday's finals in all six events that had trials, with junior Joshua Castro qualifying in the 100, 200 and 400. The first Mule ever to qualify in all three events, he set a personal best in the 200 and could potentially run in five races on Sunday - the 100, 200, 400, 4x100 and 4x400.

Senior Sam McDonough qualified in both hurdles events, as did freshman Maya Richwine for the women.
