Track and Field battles at Panther Tune-Up
MILWAUKEE — Bryant & Stratton track and field competed in the Panther Tune-Up on Saturday hosted by UWM.
Several Bobcats took their talents to the event and made their mark in the event.
Hugo Schoug competed in the 60m and finished with a time of 7.47 seconds. He also competed in the long jump and recorded a leap of 6.11m.
Jalil Ssenyonga participated in the 800m, and he recorded a time of 2:04.03.
Sophomore Emmanuel Asabere competed in the long jump and set a new PR of 7.22m.
Asabere recorded a 7.17m jump at the Red Hawk Invite and qualified for the NJCAA national indoor track and field championship that will be held on May 1 in Gainesville, Florida.
"We came back from winter break, and we started practicing with coach Tay, our new long jump coach," Asabere said. "I started practicing with him every Tuesday and Thursday."
The Bobcats track and field team has a handful of events before the indoor championship, but coach Shaunku Mays will aim to help all athletes improve and potentially qualify for the championship alongside Asabere.
