After two years in St. Paul, the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Indoor Track and Field Championships move outside the Twin Cities for the 2013 to St. Olaf College's Tostrud Center.The multi-event competitions begin Thursday afternoon, with full schedules of both track and field events running Friday and Saturday.
Last year, St. Thomas pulled away from the likes of Hamline, Bethel and Gustavus to claim its 28th-straight championship, as the Tommies racked up 189.5 points. The Pipers were second at 129.5, while Bethel (104.5) edged Gustavus (101.0) for third place. St. Olaf - this year's host school - rounded out the 2012 top five with a score of 77.5. Carleton, finished sixth with 69 points, Saint John's finished seventh with 42.5, and Augsburg just barely nipped Concordia to claim eighth place, 31 to 29.5. Macalester scored five points to finish 10th and Saint Mary's rounded out the 2012 MIAC men's standings.
UST 's Eyo Ekpo returns for his senior season after earning both Outstanding Men's Field Athlete and Outstanding Performance of the Meet honors last season. Ekpo's Outstanding Indoor Field Athlete honor was his third in a row. Ekpo will also be in search of his fourth-straight triple jump title, and second-straight wins in both the long jump and high jump. His triple-jump win - a distance of 49-3 (15.01 meters - was honored last season as the Outstanding Performance of the Meet.
The return of Ekpo isn't the only reason UST coach Steve Mathre's bunch has their sights set on title No. 29. Cody Jerabek is ranked first in the 60- and 200, while Bryan Thell is ranked first in the shot put and weight throw. Maxwell Dunne is ranked second in Division III in the heptathlon, and sophomore Doug Thoresen is ranked first in the 400- and 600, and second in the 800.
Hamline brings back Christian Willman, who ranks in the top five in the MIAC in the 400 and 600. Joe Morelli and Joey Grussing give the Pipers a formidable duo in the shot put, while Travis Latzke will lead in the jumping events. Bethel will attempt to challenge St. Thomas with distance runner Zach Haskins and Matt Berens. Ian Moore is the team's top jumper. Rob LeMay leads the sprinters and Bucky Dixon is back for the Royals as an All-Conference thrower.
Gustavus features versatile junior Blair Riegel (jumps/sprints) and reigning MIAC pole vault champion Josh Owens. Thrower Ryan Obele and middle distance runner Eric Jorgenson also hope to help the Gusties climb into one of the top spots. The host school - St. Olaf - will be strong in the distance events after winning the MIAC cross country championship in the fall, with Brian Saska and Tim Lillihaugen leading the way. Sprinters Reggie Woods and Aaron Dunphy and middle distance runner Brian Tomlinson also hope to score points over the weekend.
Sophomore Noah Laack-Veeder leads Carleton with fellow sophomore Colby Seyferth and junior Marcus Hurderle. Saint John's is hoping for points from seniors Kevin Horton (sprints), Ruairi Moynihan (distance), and Derek Rausch (hurdles). Augsburg is led by distance runner Michaele Tesema, sprinter Lekpea Kordah and middle-distance freshman Chase Grieves. Concordia has high hopes for pole vaulter Erik Olson, sprinter Bruce Shields and jumper Brandon Zylstra. Macalester is led by freshman jumper Logan Hovie, junior runner Sebastian Roemer and sophomore runner Konnor Fleming. Saint Mary's sends a trio of distance runners - Aaron Haley, Peter Borash and Jake Traxler.
WOMEN
St. Thomas' women are trying for a 14th-straight conference title. Head Coach Joe Sweeney and the Tommies claimed lthe 2012 title by 50 with 164.0 points a year ago. Carleton (114) was second, St. Olaf(97) third. Bethel(85) was fourth, followed by Saint Benedict (74.0) edged Hamline (70.0) Gustavus(46), Macalester(43.5) and Concordia(43) were neck-and-neck in the next three spots. St. Catherine(21), Augsburg(13.5), and St Mary's(9) grabbed the final three spots.
The Tommies enter the meet with the number one ranked 4x400 team, as well as All-Americans Taylor Berg (distance) and Emily Van Heel (sprints, relays, jumps). They are joined by sophomores Kayla Goeman and twins Erika and Angela Tipp, and freshman Bailey Cook who is ranked in the top two in the MIAC in a pair of jumping events.
Carleton features with defending 1,000 champion Hailey Johnson and distance teammates Colette Celichowski, Sarah Trautman, and freshmen Ruth Steinke. Amelia Campbell (field events) adds to the Knights' depth. The host Oles will be led by sophomore Dani Larson, who won a pair of indoor All-American honors in her first season as well as last year's Outstanding Women's Field Athlete and Women's Outstanding Performance-of-the-Week awards . Middle distance runner Moriah Novacinski and distance runner Emma Lee help give St. Olaf a balanced core of performers.
Bethel brings back talented juniors-- sprinters Ashley Magelssen, Courtney Fregeau; Steph Skoog, the top-ranked high jumper in the Central Region, and Rachel Kalk will contribute in the hurdle and jump events. Saint Benedict will be counting on multi-event junior Mandy Witschen, with thrower Sam Imholte and sprinter Erin Sand. Hamline has a trio of throwers--Shawny Kramer and Becky Culp are among the league's best--and distance runner Maria Theisen.
Gustavus brings back 2012 pole vault champ Allyson Voss as well as sophomore distance runner Rebecca Hare along with freshman thrower Hayley Solheim. Macalester's Irene Gibson will defend her title in the 600, while sophomore Stephanie Goei is the Scots' weight throw record holder, and Kate Rochat will contribute in the jumping events.

Senior Kaari Jensen is expected to contend in the multi-event competition and jumper Hilary Thopmson adds to Concordia's depth.
St. Catherine has high hopes for freshman sprinter and hurdler Brittany Moore, with junior pole vaulter Haley Tsuji also looking to contend. Augsburg's is led by All-American sprinter Ashley Carney, who is ranked number one in the 50 and second in the 200, while freshman hurdler Kai Mason and junior middle distance runner Lauren Rice also hope to score points for the Auggies. Saint Mary's Coco Booker hopes to again contend in the shot put after a runner-up finish in 2012, and distance runner Katie Stolz is follow up on a strong cross country season in the fall.

Pick Ten: MIAC and USA Indoor Championships
There are two big meets being held this weekend at different levels. The USA Indoor Track and Field Championships are being held in Albuquerque while the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Indoor Championships are being run at St. Olaf College. To highlight the two meets we will feature some of the athletes competing this weekend with our Pick Ten contest.
Pick Ten has a simple concept: predict the finish place for each of 10 Minnesota athletes at the MIAC/USA Indoor Championship. You will score points for each athlete who scores at or above the finish place you predict for them, following the 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 scoring system.
For example: If you pick Amanda Smock to place first in the triple jump, and she places first, you get 10 points. If you pick Smock to place first and she finishes second, you get zero points. If you pick Smock to finish third in the race and she places first, second or third, you get 6 points by the scoring system above, since she placed at least as high as you predicted.
To play Pick Ten, cut and paste the list of names/events below into an e-mail and add your place predictions -- 1st or 2nd or 3rd...8th. Send your predictions by 11:00 A.M. CST on Saturday, March 2nd to DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com. Make sure your full name is in the e-mail. As with our Yes/No contests, we don't offer any prizes, so no one needs to fear running afoul of NCAA or other anti-gambling regulations.
We'll announce the winner of this week's contest and compile results of all of the year's Pick Ten contests to name a grand champion for 2013.
Pick 10 ... MIAC and USA Indoor Championships:
Bucky Dixon - Weight Throw - Bethel (MIAC):
Erik Olson - Pole Vault - Concordia Moorhead (MIAC):

MIAC Athletes of the Week
In his final tune-up before the 2013 MIAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, Bethel junior Zach Haskins (Maple Grove, MN) won in the 800 in 1:53.52 Friday at Macalester' s Pre-Conference Meet in St. Paul, posting the fastest time in the MIAC and one that ranks in the top-10 nationally.For his performance, Haskins was named the MIAC Men's Indoor Track Athlete-of-the-Week.
He won the race - which exclusively featured MIAC opponents from Gustavus, Hamline, Macalester and Augsburg - by more than four seconds over the runner up, with the fastest time in the conference this season by nearly two seconds. Haskins is also ranked No. 9 in all of Division III in the 800 in 2013. He'll also bring the top time (2:29.94) in the 1,000 and the second-fastest mile time (4:12.94) into the MIAC Championships.

Thursday's action starts at 2 PM, Friday's field events will start at 2:30 PM and track begins at 4:15, and Saturday starts with field events at 11 AM and track at 1 PM.
The Concordia College men's pole vaulters put on an impressive display Friday at the St. Olaf Invitational, as the Cobbers swept the top four places in the event. Leading the way was senior Erik Olson (Buffalo, Minn.) - the school record-holder- with a first-place finish 15'(4.57m). Olson was selected as the MIAC Men's Indoor Field Athlete-of-the-Week.

This season, Owens' height is tied for the second-best mark in the MIAC, tied with St. Thomas' Jack May and trailing only Josh Owens (4.91 meters, 16-1.25 feet) of Gustavus. The Concordia school record-holder won Friday by 0.15 meters over teammate Levi Bachmeier.
Concordia College thrower Cherae Reeves (West Fargo, ND) won the shot put Friday at the St. Olaf Invitational with her best throw of the year,13.7m. It's the No. 2 throw in the conference this season. Reeves was named the MIAC Women's Indoor field Athlete-of-the-Week.
Reeves won by more than a meter with the winning toss coming on her first throw of the final round. Reeves - who ranks second in the Cobber shot put history - was exactly 1.05 meters better than the runner up and nearly 2 meters better than the rest of the field. Her throw ranks second in the MIAC this season behind only Hamline's Becky Culp (13.92 m) and her distance is the 14th-best in all of NCAA Division III thus far in 2013.
He won the race - which exclusively featured MIAC opponents from Gustavus, Hamline, Macalester and Augsburg - by more than four seconds over the runner up, with the fastest time in the conference this season by nearly two seconds.

HS Girls All-Time Lists: 100 Meters
It's been a Down the Backstretch
tradition to publish Minnesota high school all-time lists on our
web-site. Beginning later this month, we'll post Tim and Bill Miles'
annual and all-time boys lists for the fourth year in a row.
Kicking off the stats-fest this year are the all-time Minnesota high school girls' lists compiled by Kevin Moorhead, the Champlin Park cross country and distance coach. Moorhead, starting with lists fashioned by the Miles brothers compiling top girls' performances from 1972 until 1992, has brought those lists up-to-date and has added the 4 x800, triple jump and pole vault to the effort.
Moorhead stresses that the lists are "living documents," so he encourages corrections and amendments that come to light thanks to publication. Moorhead can be contacted at:

Kicking off the stats-fest this year are the all-time Minnesota high school girls' lists compiled by Kevin Moorhead, the Champlin Park cross country and distance coach. Moorhead, starting with lists fashioned by the Miles brothers compiling top girls' performances from 1972 until 1992, has brought those lists up-to-date and has added the 4 x800, triple jump and pole vault to the effort.
Moorhead stresses that the lists are "living documents," so he encourages corrections and amendments that come to light thanks to publication. Moorhead can be contacted at:

The mark was the fifth-fastest time in Gopher men's indoor history and the fastest this season.
The Gophers had a two-three finish in the 60 as senior Sean King came in second at 6.77 and newcomer Devin Crawford-Tufts was third in 6.80. Crawford-Tufts also placed eighth in the 200 at 35.11 while Boy finished fifth in 21.27.

The Gopher 4x400-meter relay team was just .22 seconds away from the school record in finishing fourth. Megan Geyen, Te’Shon Adderley, Jessica Waldvogel and Alena Brooks ran the fastest time in their section of the relay. They were .10 seconds out of third place overall, with the fastest three teams running in the second section.
Adderley finished fourth in the 800 with a new personal record of 2:06.42, which ranks fourth in school history. Brooks came in fifth in the 600 with a time of 1:30.44.

TK Willis set the long jump record, and the 4x400 was close to the school record. I’m proud of the team overall. We’ve come a long way since last year. We’re on the right path, but we still have a lot of work to do for outdoor.”

“We had a really good day,” director of track and field/cross country Matt Bingle said. “People competed well in the pressure situation that is the Big Ten Championships. We had a lot of PRs, even with people who didn’t make finals. We’re where we’re supposed to be right now. We just need to come back tomorrow and take care of business.”
The women’s competition will resume tomorrow morning with the high jump at 11 AM CT. Twelve events remain. Minnesota women are currently in fifth place with 24 points. Nebraska leads with 50.
For the men, Senior Nick Hutton paced Minnesota with the fastest preliminary time in the mile(4:03.37). The Gophers’ Alex Brend also advanced to the finals in the mile, running 4:06.55. A pair of runners advanced to finals in two events--Harun Abda and Devin Crawford-Tufts.

For the second-straight year, Minnesota is in fifth after the first day of Big Ten competition.
