Marable doubled down as the conference’s indoor track athlete of the year and freshman of the year in 2019, setting the stage for an eventual All-American performance in the 400-meter dash.
Marable was blazing on the track at the Youngstown State Collegiate Invite in the Oilers’ third event of the 2019-20 season.
The sophomore blazed his way to a provisional qualifying time in the 400. He ran a 47.37 to win the event, currently ranking third best in Great Midwest history.
A former Oiler holds the overall conference record, George Effah and his 47.01 in the 2018 indoor national meet.
He also recorded a top 10 conference finish as a member of the runner-up 4x400-meter relay team as Marable, Lane Kolb, Josh Verhoff and Nick Rice, combined for a time of 3:21.32.
That effort is ninth in the record books and now gives the Oilers four of the top 10 marks in the event.
