The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) will hold its Indoor Conference Championships this weekend, hosted by Macalester College. The meet actually started yesterday (Thursday), led by the men's heptathlon and the finals of the women's pentathlon. The competition will be back underway at 9:30 A.M. on Friday with the Heptathlon final. The field events will start at 3:30 P.M. followed by the track events at 5:15. The final day of the meet is Saturday with events kicking off at 11:30 A.M.
In 2011, St. Thomas won the meet on both the men's and women's side. The men eked out a tight victory over Hamline -- for their 27th straight title! -- while the women held a comfortable advantage over St. Benedict.
As always, the MIAC meet will have many exciting events. But we will skip to the final race of the meet with our question this week...

My answer: No
Last week's question was: Will Amanda Smock finish in the top three in the women's triple jump at the USA Indoor Championship. The answer was yes. Smock not only finished in the top three, she won the event. Thirty-four people answered correctly this week and the first place is now held by only three contestants. Dan Vogel, Jim Glazer and Heather Jelen are tied for first with six points. There are ten players lurking just one point behind.
There is a large group of players that tied for the win in the monthly contest. Eight players were perfect in February scoring four points each. The February winners were Vogel, Glazer, Jelen, Bill Atkins, Bill Miles, Evan Roberts, Laura Roach and Mike Henderson.
