MIDLAND, Mich. -- Sophomore Robert Haynes amassed a pair top five performances (Lansing, Mich./Sexton), including yet another school record time in the 100 meters, to pace the Michigan Tech track and field team in the final day of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Outdoor Track and Field Championships hosted by Northwood.

Haynes' record-breaking time of 10.48 in the 100, allowed him to take home top honors in the event, while besting his previous personal best reading of 10.55. The sprinter clocked in at 21.53 in the 200, which was good for third place. As a result of his two standout efforts, Haynes garnered All-GLIAC accolades for the second consecutive year.

"Robert should be in good shape to earn a berth in the NCAA Championships for the 100," said fourth-year head coach Joe Haggenmiller. "He had a great race in the 100 and it seemed to help him to be running against top-notch competition. I know Robert was a little disappointed that he didn't win the 200, but he ran a very solid race."

The other top competitor on the men's side was junior Stuart Kramer (Marquette, Mich.), who took ninth in the 1500 meters after recording a time of 4:04.10. Rounding out the day, newcomer Chris Schafer (New Brighton, Minn./Irondale -- 15:55.40) was 13th in the 5000 meters.

"Stu had a really good race today," said Haggenmiller. "The field he competed against was such an elite group so he should be happy with a top 10 finish. Chris shaved a few more seconds off his best time of the year, which is always a good way to end the season."

For the women, sophomore Danielle Holmgren (Rapid River, Mich. -- 4:49.33) had a breakout day in the 1500 meter race, as she erased over five seconds off her personal best to secure sixth place. Junior Kate Hagenbuch (Hancock -- 4:56.32) grabbed the ninth spot in the 1500, and finished eighth in the 800 with a reading of 2:22.39.

"Danny came out with an outstanding performance in the 1500," said Haggenmiller. "For her to drop over five seconds off her best previous time against competition like this is pretty remarkable. I'm sure Kate wanted to finish a little better today, but she still was able to earn us a point in the 800. She has another year of experience now, and I think she will make the best of her chances next season."

Junior Megan Drelles (Ludington, Mich.), who set a school record in the 3000 meter steeplechase Friday, tacked on a 10th-place showing in the 3000 meters with a time of 10:39.85. Erin Ballun (Oswego, Ill.) grabbed the fourth spot in the long jump with a leap of 17' 7''.

"After a great day yesterday, Megan followed that up with another strong effort in the 3000. Her time is right up there among up the top 10 all-time in our program. Erin had a pretty impressive day in the long jump, which should give her confidence for next year."

Finally, the foursome of Kate Hagenbuch, sophomore Stephanie Schiel (Midland, Mich.), senior Lindsay Fry-Schallhorn (Paw Paw, Mich.) and Danielle Holmgren combined to secure the Huskies' third-best time ever in the 1600 meter relay by clocking in at 4:12.75.

"I was really happy with the relay team capped the year by turning in its best time of the spring," said Haggenmiller. "All in all, it was a great effort."

In the team scores, the Huskies' women totaled 21 points in the two-day event, while the Tech men recorded 20 points overall. Grand Valley State won the team portion of the GLIACs with 520.5 points (271.50 men, 249 women).

"We certainly have some areas to improve, but overall we took some major strides this season," said Haggenmiller. "Each year we are buildeing a strong team, and that's how you compete at the GLIAC Championships. We just have to keep improving, and the team scores will gradually keep getting better for us."

Several Huskies will compete individually at various meets around the region late next week. The 2007 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships are scheduled to take place on May 24-26 in Charlotte, N.C. Johnson C. Smith University is the institutional host for the event.
