Men's Track sets MIAC record with
21st title
In the 21-year history of the event, the Tommie men have now
won 21 championships.
The 21 titles broke an MIAC all-sport consecutive title record
as it surpassed St. Olaf's 20-year men's swimming reign as
conference champs. The Toms' average winning margin in the
21-year streak is an amazing 85 points. They've won by 30 or
more points and scored at least 179 points in 19 of the 21
indoor championships. UST has also won 20 of the last 22 MIAC
outdoor team championships.

It was St. Thomas' first MIAC
men's team championship of 2004-05 after runner-up
finishes in golf, football, basketball and hockey. The
title was Coach Steve Mathre's 10th indoor title and 17th
overall in his 91/2 years as head coach. |
Coach Mathre's
men scored 191 to beat runnerup St. Olaf by 78 points. The
Toms started the last day with a 37-point lead then won five
of the nine events on Saturday including both relays, the high
jump and the 1,000. They also had four second-place finishes.
