Men's
Track has good showings at two meets
The St. Thomas
men's track and field team sent a few athletes to Friday's
University of Minnesota Snow Open and the bulk of its team to
Saturday's four-team Tostrud Classic at St. Olaf. The host
Oles, Luther and potent UW-LaCrosse were also competing in the
Northfield meet.
Neither competition was team scored, but the Toms had a few
more season-best marks.
At St. Olaf, senior Matt McLaughlin improved his NCAA
provisional qualifying mark in the weight throw by seven
inches as he threw 55-9 1/4 for second place. He also took
third in the shot put (47-1 1/2).
The Toms also set a building record for the 4x200 relay as
they won in 1:28.85.
Senior Ben Garbe won the triple jump in 45-4 1-4 -- the best
mark in the MIAC thus far in 2004.
Senior Joe Thomas won the high jump (6-1 1-2) and freshman
Matt Schroeder won the pole vault in a career-best height
(14-8 1-4). All four Tommis pole vaulters posted season-best
marks. In another strong performance, freshman P.J. Thiesen
ran 49.99 in the 400 for fifth place, just off the 49.80 NCAA
provisional clocking.
Seconds were scored by Carson Glad in the 200 (22.57); Nick
Schleder in the 600 yards (1:16.74); Thiesen in the long jump
(21-6 3-4); and Nate Page in the pole vault (14-2 1-2).
Thirds were scored by Travis Birklid in the 55 hurdles (8.17);
Jason Schwietz in the 200 (22.77); Jerrod Gray in the high
jump (5-9 3-4); and Brad Hanson in the pole vault (13-2 1-2).
Fourths were scored by Tom Hart in the 55 (6.72); Jason
Simmons in the 55 hurdles (8.26); and Brian Hauge in the 1,000
(2:36.35). Fifths were scored by Dan Everson (6.79); Joe
Hoovestol in the 1000 (2:38.02); and Andy Dauer in the pole
vault (12-8 3-4). Sixths were scored by Chris Mattke in the 55
hurdles (8.35); Shaun Sharp in the 200 (23.25); Jeff Goeden in
the 1000 (2:39.39); Derek Harmon in the 3,000 (8:58.49);
Mattke in the long jump (20-0 1-4); and Peter Rosholt in the
weight throw (47-7).
At Friday's U of M competition, Corey Fusco was sixth in the
800 in 1:56.48; Bryce Beckman was third in the 600 meters
(1:25.45); and Sean Brenckman was 11th in the 3,000 (8:59.52).
Fusco's time is the fastest in the MIAC this year and just off
the NCAA provisional time of 1:55.10.
St. Thomas has its final tuneup for the March 6-7 MIAC
Championships next Saturday when it competes again at St. Olaf.
