Minnesotans in Action Tonight in La Crosse

We usually save our results links for Friday, but we anticipate lots of important marks tonight at the UW - La Crosse Last Chance Meet. Among a passel of MIAC entrants looking to improve their chances of making the NCAA Division III Championships -- or simply notching a nice PR -- are a handful of post-collegiates ramping up for the Olympic Trials.

Among the headliners are ... Former Gopher ace Mitch Potter who is slated to run the 400m ... Team USA Minnesota's Matt Gabrielson, Brad Lowery, and Antonio Vega who are entered in the 5000m ... USA Champion Shani Marks and training partner Amanda Thieschafer who will compete in the triple jump ... And, training partners April Phillips and Bryan Tolcser who will compete in the hammer throws.

Full startlists are available HERE.

Results are available HERE.

Update: Marks wins TJ with 45-2 1/2, Thieschafer 2nd with 43-10 1/2 ... Potter wins 400m in 46.66 ... Team USA Mn 5000m 1-2-3: Gabrielson 14:10, Vega 14:11, Lowery 14:16 ... Phillips hammers 186-9, Tolcser 209-3.
