Abilene Christian University senior Camille Vandendriessche made history Saturday at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships becoming the first male athlete to win a multi-event competition at an indoor championship meet as he captured the heptathlon.

Vandendriessche -- the two-time defending outdoor national champion in the decathlon -- won the heptathlon with 5,448 points to help the men's team to a third-place finish behind national champion St. Augustine's and runner-up Adams State.  The women's team finished in eighth while Lincoln (Mo.) won the women's indoor title.

Vandendriessche opened the day with a third place finish in the 60-meter hurdles at 8.60. He remained in third overall heading into the pole vault.  In his best event, though, Vandendriessche flew past the competition, vaulting a personal-best 16 feet, 8.75 inches to score 941 points and move into the lead.  The next-closest competitor was Alex Lohman from Central Missouri who vaulted 15-5.

Heading into the 1,000 meter run, Vandendriessche had a 93-point lead over the field. He needed to run with the pack to seal the win. He did just that, finishing fourth in the event with a time of 2:50.33. He finished the competition 201 points ahead of second place Wayne Durham of Adams State (5247).

The Wildcats' other individual title came from Andrew McDowell in the 60-meter hurdles. McDowell, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., entered the finals ranked first after running an 8.00 in prelims. He took an early lead and blew past the competition to finish in 7.92, a personal best and school record.  McDowell is the first Wildcat to ever win a 60-meter hurdle title for ACU.
