2020 A-10 INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP LOOK BACK
Davidson placed fourth, racking up 63 points, their second most scored in an A-10 Championship. Daniel Alvarez snapped the tape in the 800-meter run for his first conference crown. Bryce Anthony also made his presence known at the award ceremony, stepping onto the podium for both the heptathlon and the 60-meter hurdles. He also scored in the open vault.
 
Raphael Oettl and Max Pearson both scored in the 1k and 3k, respectively. Miles Hollimon took eighth in the 60-meter dash, while Dylan Ameres took home points in the triple jump.
 
MAKING THEIR MARK
A pair of decades old records fell this spring from the field. Junior Paul Mullinax broke the 43-year-old hammer record set by Jarry Taylor in 1978, marking a throw of 46.83-meters. Mullinax currently holds four of the top-10 all-time performances. Sophomore Dylan Ameres had never broken 14-meters in the triple jump before he went to the USC Open where he stretched the tape 14.81-meters, snapping Ray Swetenburg's record (14.53m) that he held since 1970.

 "We head into the championship having had some great performances over the past few weeks. We are in a good place as a team and are looking forward to mixing it up with some great competition. We feel confident in our preparation and that we are as ready as can be."
