The University of Minnesota Duluth made its 2016-17 indoor track and field debut Saturday at the College of St. Scholastica's The Opener and had a dominating day, to say the least.
The Bulldogs finished first in 11 of the 15 events and in the four it didn't win -- the 200 and 600-meter runs, the pole vault and triple jump -- they took runner up honors. UMD also spread the wealth as 10 different Bulldogs captured individual titles. That group included junior captain
Nick Beattie in the 60-meter dash (7.24), junior
Austin Carlson in the 400-meter dash (51.81), senior captain
Ben Hanson in the 800-meter run (1:59.63), junior
Henry Jessen in the mile run (4:27.99), junior
Cody Sedbrook in the 3,000-meter run (8:49.50), junior captain
Logan Rubeck in the 60-meter hurdles (8.87), senior
Jason Lilja in the high jump (NCAA II provisional qualifying leap of 6'-08.00"), sophomore
Kyle Kabanuk in the long jump (21'-01.50"), junior
Clinton Treichel in the shot put (49'-03.50") and senior
Brian Lee in the weight throw (53'-03.03"). Carlson and Hanson teamed with senior
Boston Braack and junior captain
Connor Behm in the 4 x 400-meter relay and posted a winning time of 3:29.82.
UMD is now off until Jan. 14 when it will compete in the University of Minnesota Open.
