CLEMSON, S.C. - After grasping a 30 point lead on the first day, Appalachian State University men's track and field cruised its way to a third straight Southern Conference Indoor Championship, and the teams eighth since 2000.

The Mountaineers recorded first place finishes in eight of the 17 events and had 16 athletes earn all-SoCon honors. The Black and Gold also had two athletes receive all-Freshman accolades. All the success the team had over the weekend generated enough buzz to get head coach John Weaver voted the conference Coach of the Year.

Senior thrower Malcolm Styers grabbed the weight throw crown with a toss of 62-2.50, which broke a 10 year-old SoCon record. Styers' victory earned him his third-straight title in the event and the SoCon Field Athlete of the Year award.

Sprinter Dennis Moore showcased his speed, as he claimed the 60- and 200-meter dash titles. The junior from Asheville, N.C. finished the 60m in a time of 6.79, which pushes him to second on ASU's all-time charts. In the 200m, Moore moved to fourth all-time after posting a time of 21.62. Teammate Landon Powell finished third in the 60m and was the runner-up in the 200m.

Freshman Jamal Tiller raked in his first SoCon title with his leap of 51-1.75 in the triple jump. The jump moves him to eighth all-time in Appalachian history. Tiller was also named the SoCon Freshman Athlete of the Year for his efforts at the conference meet.

Alex Taylor and Chris Moen coasted to finish one-two in the mile, as the slow paced race played to their advantage due to the large amount of mileage each of them accumulated this championship weekend.

Moen's contribution to the team's success this weekend earned him the honor of being named SoCon Track Athlete of the Year.

"Chris has a great deal of confidence in what he can do, and he was just really wonderful this weekend," said Coach Weaver. "As his confidence gets stronger, I don't know what this young man won't be able to accomplish."

Sean Soderman broke the tape in the 5,000-meter run in a time of 14:39.59, just seven seconds off his own school record that he set earlier this season.

Senior Jake Goodchild finished third in the grueling two-day heptathlon with a personal best point total of 4,770. He boasted two personal bests during the seven events (long jump and high jump), and his score moves him to second all-time at ASU.
