Bucholz Leads Milwaukee Men In Iowa
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (Feb. 2, 2008) - Sophomore Tyler Bucholz won the 200m and posted a pair of times that sit third in school history in leading the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's track and field team at the Northern Iowa Classic, Saturday at the UNI-Dome. Bucholz's times came in the 60m and 200m. In the 200m, he paced the field with a personal-best time of 21.89, which is 0.04 seconds off the second-best and just 0.20 seconds off the school record. Despite qualifying for the finals in the 60m with a time of 7.04, Bucholz did not compete in the finals. That time is also third on the school's top-10 list. Junior Adam Schleis had a pair of top-10 finishes on the day, as did senior Larry Ehrhorn. Schleis ran third in both the preliminaries and finals of the 60m hurdles. He had a finals time of 8.28, while senior Justin Bohler was sixth in the finals heat with a time of 8.43. In the long jump, Schleis was ninth with a jump of 22-3 ½. Sophomore Josh Zill was the team's lone competitor in the other horizontal jumping event, leaping 45-7 ¾ for ninth in the triple jump. Ehrhorn was fifth in the weight throw and seventh in the shot put. He tossed 55-6 ¼ in the weight throw and set a personal-best in the shot put with a throw of 51-5. More top-10 finishers for Milwaukee included sophomore Quinn Mongoven in the high jump, junior Sean Jaehnig in the pole vault and freshman Jared Foerch in the 400m. Mongoven took third with a final height of 6-8 ¾, while Jaehnig cleared 14-1 ¼ in the pole vault to tie for seventh. Foerch ran a time of 50.68 for his eighth-place finish in the 400m.
