BLACKSBURG, Va. - The University of Louisville wrapped up a successful weekend at the Hokie Invitational in Rector Field House. On the day, eight Cardinals recorded personal best performances.

"We saw continued progress today in many areas," said head coach Dale Cowper. "The heptathlon stands out to me as a highlight. Micah has done a tremendous job of making progress over the last 10 months and it really showed this week. The high jumpers, 200-meter group, and shot putters also showed considerable progress from last week."

Junior Micah Oberhausen led the Cardinals with a second-place finish in the men's heptathlon after tallying a personal-best 5,248 points. In Saturday's events. Freshman Justin Lehmkuhler finished ninth in his first collegiate heptathlon with 4,519 points.

Fellow sophomore Trey Allen jumped a season best 2.08m (6-9.75). Junior Aaron Johnson recorded a personal best of 2.00m (6-6.75) for an eighth place showing.

Sophomore Isiah Pantiere placed fourth in the 200m with a time of 22.03.
