PITTSBURG -- The Fort Hays State men's track and field team picked up another provisional performance and nearly had several others at the 5th Annual Gorilla Classic this weekend.

Ryan Stanley cleared the provisional mark in the pole vault for the sixth time this season, placing fifth after clearing the 16-6.75 bar.

Malcom Gardner completed the 200m dash in 21.74, good for eighth place in the 74-man field. His time was just .05 seconds off the provisional pace.

Caleb Carrasco narrowly missed out on a provisional performance in the mile run, finishing second in the race with a time of 4:11.47, just .23 shy of the provisional mark.

Trever Medina placed 13th in the 600y run with a time of 1:13.82, two seconds shy of the program record.

Aaron Mangan completed the 800m run in 1:55.53, less than three seconds off the provisional pace.

The Tigers will head to Lincoln, Neb., for the Nebraska Tune-Up next Friday for their final meet before heading into the postseason with the MIAA Championships at the end of the month.
