That's how many points Adams State garnered, dominating the men's mile and the 5,000. It's one thing to have fast qualifiers, and another to actually pull it off. It's the school's first track title since 1992, and they beat St. Augustine's quality jumpers and sprinters -- and four national title efforts -- to do it. It was fun to watch.
Favorites who came through
Aaron Braun (Adams State) was a monster, winning the mile, anchoring the winning distance medley relay and finishing second in the 5,000.
Jessica Pixler (Seattle Pacific) had a similarly big meet, winning the mile and anchoring a DMR win.
Neely Spence (Shippensburg) settled the question (for now) of D2's best long-distance track runner.
Anja Puc (Nebraska-Omaha) got her 800 meter title.
Brian Medigovich (Adams State) finished his career in style, storming home to a 5,000 win.
Notable performers
Denise Mokaya (Mankato State) pulled off a nice win in the men's 800.
Amos Sang (Abilene Christian) stuck his neck out in the 5,000, finishing third.
Missouri Southern's men were a strong second to Adams State in the DMR.
Upcoming post: What can indoors tell us about who might win in Charlotte? Or even in Louisville?
Charlotte:
ReplyDeleteIndoor tells us that adams will be without a ton of points as Bruan & Medigovich have no outdoor eligibility.
Yeah, it'll be a big falloff, for sure. Whatever happens in Charlotte, I think it'll be indicative of what we can expect in Louisville, too.
