Only Smialek moves on
Track
After securing five spots at nationals yesterday, the Zips only added one today.
But it was a big one. Tomasz Smialek took first in the regional high jump competition.
The season ended for nine other Akron athletes, who accomplished a lot just by making it to regionals.
Akron women took 13th as a team with 17 points, falling far short of LSU (95.5). The men were closer to the pace with 28.5 points which was good for ninth. LSU's men also took first with 71 points.
If you look at the standings, you'll see that the teams ahead of the Zips are almost exclusively larger than Akron.
