TIFFIN, Ohio -- The Capital University track and field teams traveled to northwest Ohio to compete at the Revolution College Open, hosted by Tiffin University on Saturday.
Capital was the only division III school in the field, competing against former Division II National Champions Tiffin University, University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University.
"I love seeing the progression that this team is on and seeing lifetime bests dropped every meet," said head coach
BT Pham. "I'm really excited for where we'll be come late February!"
Below is a summary of the top performances from the Comets:
Men's One Mile:
Donovan Slattery paced the men in the one mile run finishing eighth overall with a new personal best time of 4:42.97. The mark was also good enough to crack the program top-10 list in the event, sitting him ninth best in Capital history.

Women's One Mile:
Anya Vanasdale once again ran a quality distance race, finishing fourth overall in the women's mile with a time of 5:34.82. Her mark was a personal best and marked her eighth overall on the Capital All-Time list for the indoor mile.
