Due to the Easter break and a late scheduling change, the University of Minnesota Duluth sent a just a small fleet of athletes to the Carleton Relays in Northfield, Minn., Saturday, but that group still managed to come away with a number of high placings.
Leading the charge was
Nick Moran, who hit a NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark in two different events. The junior from Monticello, Minn., won the discus title with a personal-best throw of 161'-08" and took second in the hammer throw on the strength of a 186'-11" toss. The Bulldogs' success in the field events didn't end there, however, as sophomore
Appo Agbamu used a heave of 50'-4.75" to prevail in the shot put. In addition, three other Bulldogs placed second Saturday: senior
Cole Toepfer in the 1,500-meter run (4:00.67), sophomore
Drew Johnson in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:53.75) and junior
Phil d'Entremont in the 800-meter run (1:55.66). d'Entremont was followed closely by junior
Chris Wilson (1:56.15) while senior
Tyler Stevens also took third behind Johnson in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (10:08.19).
On Monday (April 21), a select number of Bulldogs will visit the University of St. Thomas campus in St. Paul, Minn. for the Tom Cat Twlight. That event was originally scheduled for last Thursday, but postponed due to heavy snowfall. The Bulldogs also have meets at Macalester College (Macalester Twilight Meet),
on Thursday, Gustavus Adolphus (Drake Alternative)
Saturday, and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Decathlon Championships on S
unday and
Monday in Aberdeen, S.D.
