CHESTER, Pa. - Caleb Wiley won the men's triple jump and Sarah Fenning got silver in the women's triple to lead Lebanon Valley on day two of the 2010 MAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Widener University.

LVC earned four medals Friday, all in field events, as Zach Bleiler grabbed a bronze in the discus and Joe Meehan placed third in the high jump.

Overall, LVC's men sat in fifth (35.5 points) after nine events scored, and the women in seventh (26 points) after 10 events, but plenty of points will come on Saturday with track finals on tap.

Wiley leaped 44-3 1/4 into a headwind, the fourth-best triple jump mark in LVC history and more than a foot better than his personal best, to win the event. He was 3 1/2 inches better than the next closest competitor.

Fenning jumped 35-8 1/2 to finish second behind national qualifier Kristen Bates of Messiah, and she also scored in the high jump as she finished fifth at 4-10 1/4.

Meehan matched his career-best as he cleared 6-4 to take third in the high jump, while Bleiler was third in the discus with a best throw of 142-4.

In other field finals, Andrew Scott placed fourth in the shot put with a throw of 46-5 1/4, and Bleiler was 11th at 41-8 3/4.
