Mac's first track meet in the new field house

By Daniel Kerwin

The new field house seen a ton of activity all semester long, but last Friday was the first time that its limits received a serious test. Friday afternoon Macalester hosted the pre-MIAC Meeting, the first ever indoor track and field event held in the new facility.Walking into the field house during the event it was hard to believe that there was an actual meet going on beneath the frenzy. However, a few Macalester athletes emerged from the organized chaos in fine fashion.

Wade Ekstrom ’10 led the way with a record-breaking performance in the mile run. Ekstrom won the race with a time of 4:17.74, breaking Paul Mausling’s 29-year -old school record of 4:19.1.

Two other Scots also won events at the meet. Martin Stenman-Andersson ’10 won the long jump with a distance of 6.33 meters, and Ollie St. John ’12 won the 1000-meter race in a time of 2:37.99.

Kevin Williams ’09 barely missed out on top honors in the 55-meter dash, finishing one hundredth of a second behind the winner in the finals with a time of 6.64. The Macalester men also had a pair of third place finishes by Andrew Yokom ’09 (200-meter dash) and Franz Meyer ’09 (1000 meter run) and a pair of sixth place finishes by Wade Miller ’09 (35-pound weight throw) and Carl Biggers ’12 (3000 meter run).

The women’s team also saw a couple of strong results. Maddie Mette ’10 led the team with a third place finish in the long jump (4.96 meters) and a fourth place finish in the 55-meter dash (7.81). Tara McCoy ’11 finished third in the 600-meter run (1:43.28) and Mari Mejia placed eighth in the 55-meter dash (8.04).

Both the men’s and women’s teams are competing in the MIAC Indoor Championships today and tomorrow, which are being held at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn.

    Good blog post. A few things i would like to bring about is that personal computer memory ought to be purchased if the computer can no longer cope with what you do by using it. One can add two RAM boards containing 1GB each, in particular, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the car maker’s documentation for own PC to be certain what type of storage is required.

    Throughout the grand pattern of things you’ll receive an A with regard to effort and hard work. Where exactly you misplaced us was on the particulars. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more correct here. Having said that, allow me inform you just what did deliver the results. Your authoring is pretty convincing and that is most likely why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can see a leaps in logic you come up with, I am not necessarily confident of how you seem to connect your points which inturn help to make the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but hope in the near future you connect your facts much better.

    The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn’t fail me as much as this particular one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I genuinely believed you would probably have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.
