Wayne State waders

It escaped my notice initially, but Wayne State (Neb. not Mich.) had two fine efforts from its steeplechase crew at Drake Relays recently.

Nate Preston and Matt Schneider -- both in-state recruits -- dipped just below the D2 auto qualifying mark of 9:09.

That means that Wayne State of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has more auto steeple qualifiers than any other school.
