Complete results

INDIANA, Pa. -- The Rock claimed its first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference team title since 2000 Saturday when it outscored second-place Lock Haven by 16.5 points to win the top honor in competition at Indiana U. of Pa.

The Rock finished the three-day competition with 124.5 points, followed by Lock Haven with 108 and third-place Shippensburg with 101.5.

The team title was the fourth won by a John Papa-coached Rock men's team since the SRU Athletic Hall of Famer assumed the head coaching reins in 1986.

The Rock's championship effort this weekend was paced by All-America sprinter Brad Mueller's first-place, school-record time of 10.47 seconds in the 100-meter dash.

That time also improved upon Mueller's NCAA Division II national championship provisional qualifying time.

Mueller was the only Rock male student-athlete to claim a first-place finish. SRU collected seven second-place finishes, three third-place honors and three fourth-place finishes.

All-America distance runner Jeff Weiss claimed conference runner-up honors in both the 5.000 and 10,000 meter runs with times of 14:23.04 and 30:31.08, respectively. His time in the shorter race met NCAA  national provisional qualifying standards.

Weiss was followed across the finish line in both races by SRU teammate Pat Reagan, who recorded 14:41.27 and 31:02.51 times. Like Weiss, his time in the 5,000m event met NCAA national provisional qualifying standards.

Adam Jones also claimed two top-four finishes for SRU as he finished second in the hammer throw with an NCAA provisional distance of 175-6 and placed fourth in the shot put with a toss of 50-5.5.

Also claiming conference runner-up honors for the Green and White were Mike Rose in the decathlon (6,290 points), Chris Warning in the discus throw (156-2), Phil Rector in the 800m run (1:54.38) and Tim Tray in the pole vault (16-2.75).

Tray's height in the pole vault also met NCAA  national provisional qualifying standards.

Terrece Draper placed third in the triple jump (47-3.75), Brady Wert was fourth in the decathlon (5.988 points) and Nate Shadeck was fourth in the 400m hurdles (54.18) to round out SRU's top-four finishes.
