2004

Emory University finished 20th out of 55 teams at the NCAA national indoor championships.

Chris Nehls finished third in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 7.60 seconds, earning All-American status for the second consecutive year. He is just the third two-time indoor All-American in school history.

Rob Bullard finished fifth in the high jump with a jump of 2.03 meters. Bullard earned All-American honors for the first time and was the first Eagle ever to earn All-American status in the high jump.

This is the third time Emory has had two indoor All-Americans in one season.

The Eagles won the University Athletic Association team championship for the fourth time in five years.

Senior T.J. Jennings was named the meet's Most Outstanding Performer for the second time in his career. The other honor came last year.

Jennings won the 55- and 200-meter dashes, finished second in the high jump, third in the long jump and fifth in the triple jump. He earned all-conference honors in the first four events listed.

Other event winners were Rob Bullard in the high jump, Chris Nehls in the 55-meter hurdles and Josh Heiber in the shot put.

This is the third time in his career that Nehls, a senior, has won the conference title in the 55 hurdles. For Bullard, a sophomore, it is his second consecutive UAA crown in the high jump.

Emory had 13 all-conference event performances (top-three finish) in individual or relay events.

In addition to the event winners, all-conference honorees include Blake Staub, second in the 55-meter dash, Wesley Thomas, third in the 55-meter dash, Adam Brunfeldt, third in the 1500-meter run, Seth Crislip, third in the 800-meter run, Phil Hagedorn, third in the 5,000-meter run, and Emory's second-place 1,600-meter relay team of Nehls, John Pitts, Crislip, and Jennings.
