St. Thomas's Keaton Wendroth (sophomore from Rochester/Mayo) is making up for lost time. He didn't run XC as a freshman, then missed 2011 with an injury. Healthy this year, Wendroth has placed high in all three races he's run. Last Friday at the Blugold Invitational, he clocked 25:32.1 and outran all 88 conference runners (St. Olaf, St. John's, Hamline, UST) and more than 300 runners with a fourth-place finish, cutting one minute and nineteen seconds off his previous 8K best. Wendroth won his two other races running 19:34 for 6K at St. Kate's on August 31, and 26:51 for 8K at the Crown Invitational September 8.
