ALLIANCE, Ohio – Zion Park's All-OAC finish in the Pole Vault proved to be the highlight, but only scraped the surface of several high quality performances from the Capital University track and field teams at the Ohio Athletic Conference Indoor Championships this weekend. 

In addition to Park's All-Conference jump in the pole vault, Capital saw numerous athletes crack the program All-Time lists and one who improved their mark on the lists. 

Today proved to be a first-time experience for many of the Comets. First year head coach, BT Pham mentioned, "This weekend went very well for us and we are proud of how our team competed."

As a team though, the Capital women placed 10th and the men finished seventh.
