Arthurton had his hand in two new Great Midwest records, the 200-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay, for the Dragons as they hosted the Tiffleberg Meet. 
 
The speedy freshman just adds to the incredible depth with Tiffin’s sprints unit and has shown glimpses of how promising his future for the Dragons really is.
 
The 200-meter outdoor record previously held by Kentucky Wesleyan’s James Glenn held up for nearly two years before Arthurton clocked a 21.24 to win the event on Saturday. 
 
Glenn’s top 200 time was 21.54 at the conference outdoor championships back in 2017. 
 
One week after Findlay set the 4x100-meter relay record, the Dragons vaulted into the top spot as Arthurton, Jonte Baker, Zion Cross and Elijah Gauldin, provisionally qualified for nationals with a time of 40.48. 
 
The Oilers conference record-time of 41.39 officially held up for one week at the Florida Relays.
