College Track
An unfortunate mishap dropped Michigan Tech runner Clayton Sayen to an 11th-place finish in the 1500-meter finals at the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships Saturday. Late in the race, Sayen appeared to be headed for at least a top-five finish when he was involved in a three-runner collision. He tripped, recovered, but wound up five seconds behind the winner. The Houghton High School grad was the seventh-fastest qualifier of the 12 who had made the final field.
