Drew Graybeal Finishes Third in 400 Meters at NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships

ADA, Ohio --- Elizabethtown College senior Drew Graybeal (Woodbine, MD/Glenelg) finished third in the men's 400 meters at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field championships at Ohio Northern University on Saturday.

Graybeal was timed in 49.56 seconds in the finals, finishing behind champion Hanneus Ollison of McMurry University, who won the race in 48.61 seconds, and runner-up Luke Reschke of Monmouth (Ill.) College, who was clocked in 49.51 seconds.

It is the fourth time in his career that Graybeal has earned All-America honors, and his best individual finish ever after taking fifth indoors and sixth outdoors in the 800 meters at last year's NCAA Division III championships.

Graybeal joins fellow senior Kevin Clark (Horsham, PA/Hatboro-Horsham) as an All-American this year after Clark finished fourth in the pole vault on Friday night.

As a team, the Blue Jays finished with 11 points to tie for 14th out of 66 schools that earned at least one point at the championships.

Also on Saturday, senior Erin Fisher (McEwensville, PA/Warrior Run) competed in the women's 5,000-meter run and finished 10th with a time of 17:42.11.
