Intersquad/Alumni Meet

The Intersquad/Alumni was the first chance for many to compete in the this early indoor track season. Many attempted new events to test the waters of the talent pool. Also, it was a time to meet former friends and teammates once again. The meet showed many newcomers just what the collegate athletic experience is all about. Many good performances were turned in as the team gained experiene that will be valuable in the coming months. Shawn Moretti turned in another provisional performance with a 7.75 the 55-meter hurdles. Shawn Hau earned an impressive first place in the 55-meter dash, and Eric Miller and Will Porter spliting the first place honors with a tie in the 200. Freshmen Craig Gunderson and Clint Eiden won the 400 and 800, respectively. Matt Hayes took the 1000, and Dan Schwamberger beat out Jesse Drake in the 1500 with a time of 4:02.93. Jesse LaLonde grabbed the 3000 title and Shane Rueckel won the 200 Hurdles to round out the track events. In the field, Andy Van Brocklin took the high jump. The Pole Vault was won buy the returning Jeremy "Wads" Wadzinski with a height of 14 feet. Luke Hilgers took the Weight Throw crown with a throw of 43' 9.75". Perhaps the most improvement was shown in the Shot Put, as four throwers all went over thirteen meters. The event was finally taken by Joel Schult with a toss of 45' 3.75". The team came away from the meet with a sense of a good starting point, but they also have the realization that there is need for improvement for the tough tests to come.
