The University of Minnesota Duluth took its shortest road trip -- a little more than a mile -- of the 2014 indoor track and field season Saturday, paying a visit to the College of St. Scholastica campus where the Bulldogs rolled up nine individual titles and broke a pair of school records at the Lake Superior Challenge.
Among the champions were junior
Justin Adams in the 400-meter dash (52.93),
Phil d'Entremont in the 500-meter dash (1:06.23, a UMD school-record and Burns Wellness Center record),
Nick Moran in the weight throw (16.79 meters),
Holden Olson in the 200-meter dash (23.18) and sophomores
Mark Emlaw in both the long jump (6.73 meters) and 60-meter dash (7.09),
Appo Agbamu in the shot put (15.47 meters) and
Drew Johnson in the 1,000-meter run (2:37.32) and freshman
Ted Heikkila in the 3,000-meter run (9:01.17). In addition, the distance relay team of d'Entremont, senior
Tyler Stevens, junior
Chris Wilson and senior
Cole Toepfer placed first in the distance medley relay with a school-record and Burns Wellness Center record-clocking of 10:06.15. That also was a NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark for that quartet.
The Bulldogs will be competing next on February 15th in either the Yellowjacket Open at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, or the Minnesota State University Open in Mankato.
