Laack-Veeder surged from behind to win the 800 meters by .01 seconds. His winning time of 1:56.54 ranks first in the MIAC this season, and 16th nationally. He also ran a leg on the 4x400-meter relay team, helping them finish in 3:28.98, the MIAC's second-best time in that event.
Gustavus' Josh Owens (Brooklyn Park, Minn./Champlin Park) won the pole vault at Friday's St. Olaf Triangular. He currently leads the MIAC and ranks in the top 10 nationally, and is the MIAC Men's Indoor Field Athlete-of-the-Week.
Owens jumped 4.75 meters(15'7"), first in the MIAC by more than six inches. Owens is currently ranked seventh in the event in NCAA Division III in the pole vault. Owens is the defending MIAC champion in the indoor track and field pole vault after clearing 4.90 meters (16' 75" ) at the 2012 MIAC Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Her win came against a loaded field, which included 22nd-ranked runner Bailey Alston of UW-La Crosse, and Jessica Smith, who was an All-American and the WIAC heptathlon champion a year ago. This is Carney's third MIAC Indoor Track Athlete-of-the-Week award as she earned the honor twice in 2012.
Carleton's Amelia Campbell (Sturgeon Bay, Wis./Sturgeon Bay) did her first heptathlon ever at Friday's Minnesota State Open. The freshman finished fourth against mostly NCAA Division II competition. For her breakout performance, Campbell was named the MIAC Women's Indoor Track Athlete-of-the-Week.
Campbell 3,079 points ranks first in the MIAC this season, and third in NCAA Division III. It is the also the fourth-best ever for a Carleton woman.
