Tulsa, Okla. - Freshman sprinter Gary Afram way outperformed his No. 7 seeding and took second place in the 100 meters and claimed all-conference honors Saturday in the final day of the three-day Summit League championship meet hosted by Oral Roberts University.
Those eight points helped St. Thomas (63.5) hold off Oral Roberts (59) for fourth place, improving one spot on the fifth-place showing at the 2022 Summit Indoor meet in February. In that indoor competition, Oral Roberts outscored the Tommies by 15 points for fourth place.
North Dakota State (241.5) outscored runner-up South Dakota State (205) to take first in the seven-team field that wrapped up a three-day battle on Saturday. Those two were followed by South Dakota (163), St. Thomas (63.5), Oral Roberts (59), North Dakota (56), and Western Illinois (23).
A Rosemount, Minn., native, Afram had a hand in 17 team points and was selected the Newcomer of the Championships on the men's side. He was joined with All-Summit League honors individually by two decathlon teammates, sophomore Nate Raddatz and freshman Jack Rosner who took first and third in the multi event.
Besides the 100, Afram also ran on the Toms' third-place 4x100 relay, and added three points with a sixth-place long jump on Friday. In Friday's 100 prelims he clocked 10.52, the second best time in program history and the No. 42 best freshman time in Division I in 2022.
The Toms secured fourth place in the final event, the 4x400 relay in a season-best time of 3:17.81 with Jack Rosner, Max Gifford, Calvin Bream and Mason Thedens. They also clocked a season-best 41.38 in the 4x100 relay for third place with Alec Martzahl, Afram, Bream, and freshman Isaiah Hopf.
Sophomore Grady Clem, seeded 11th, shared fourth place in the high jump with a season-best 6-6. Freshman Sam May cleared 6-2 for ninth place.
Hopf took fifth in the triple jump in 45-11 1-4.
Junior Carter Maack placed fifth in the 110 hurdles in 14.57.
Gifford, seeded 13th, placed fifth in the 800 in a season-best time of 1:51.65.
Parker Feuerborn placed 10th in the discus in 147-5. Morey Smith took 11th in the 1,500 in 4:02.37.
Men's Outdoor Track and Field is the fourth St. Thomas sport to place in the top four in a conference meet in 2021-22, the Tommies' inaugural season competing in Division I. It joins second-place Men's Cross Country (Summit League); third-place Football (Pioneer League); and fourth-place Women's Cross Country.
Those eight points helped St. Thomas (63.5) hold off Oral Roberts (59) for fourth place, improving one spot on the fifth-place showing at the 2022 Summit Indoor meet in February. In that indoor competition, Oral Roberts outscored the Tommies by 15 points for fourth place.
