ROCHESTER, Mich. – Oakland University Men's and Women's Track & Field finished the three-day 2022 #HLTF Outdoor Track & Field Championships with six individual championships added to the already stellar showing on Sunday.

In the high jump area, Lotte Houtman would achieve a height  of 1.65m for second-place while Alex Hugh-Plott repeated the same on the Men's side in 2.07m. 

The Men's 4x100m Relay fell just short but took second on the podium with a 41.41 second performance. Following that performance was the Women's 4x100m Relay squad who came into the race with the second-fastest time in the conference only to out stretch opponents in 46.11 seconds for the first victory of the day.



In the single-lap event, the Men's 400m, Oakland posted a 1-2 punch up front as both Jimmie Williams and Ray Braziel finished first and second with times of 47.04 and 47.82 into the wind, respectively, for 18 points.



Maddi Leigh then did her thing in the Women's 800m run as the senior completed a come-from-behind win to finish the two laps in 2:16.12. In the event prior, Terrence Brooks Jr. finished second overall in the Men's 800m in 1:53.52.



Gabriel Singh came around the fourth and final turn in the Men's 400m Hurdles just behind in second-place as one of the final hurdle rows approached. As the leader's foot hit the ground first, Singh was able to use raw speed and propel himself to the individual title in 52.71 seconds.



In the following event, Payton Sabourin took second in the Women's 400m Hurdles with a time of 1:01.99.
