I didn’t write a proper summary for the end of the indoor season. I always expect to have some downtime as we continue to train and prepare for the outdoor season. Instead, we returned from a successful trip at the DIII indoor national championships and started hosting high school meets. We have hosted five meets in the last ten days. The largest meet was nine teams with 37 heats of the boys and girls 55 meter dash. Hopefully the weather improves because high school and college athletes alike are itching to compete outside.
If you didn’t see the results of our National Championships, we had a fun time down in North Carolina and the guys performed well. Eli Mollet (JR, Jefferson, SD) had a good series of throws to finish in twelfth place with a throw of 17.72 meters. Maguire Petersen (JR, Hutchinson) finished the heptathlon strong with a gutsy performance in the 1000 meters. He finished in sixth place overall to earn All-American honors. Special thanks to the Mollet family for a great meal while we were out there.
The outdoor season is off to a slow start. Our first home meet was canceled due to the Minnesota cold and we are scheduled to compete at Hamline on Saturday. Just enough time to get in one meet before we challenge the alumni. You all have about ten days to complete as much training as possible.
Use the link below to register. Whether you compete or not, we’d love to see you all in Collegeville on Saturday, April 9th. The meet starts at 11:00am with a social following at about 4:00pm.
