Sathre is definitely a senior. He's competed in both the indoor and outdoor MIAC meets 3 times.
Olaf scored 42 points last year in open events 800 and up, and all but 3 were scored by non seniors. Add in Wintheiser and Gilbertson (injured last year) and even subtracting Massey they should be able to get beat that number.
5 scorers in the mile last outdoors. That is an aberration and will not happen again. even adding more middle d events indoors will not allow the oles to score 40+ points indoors.
Olaf scored 42 points in distance events INDOORS last season. If you want to talk about outdoors, the total was 69 (which I agree will not happen again this year...too many things worked in their favor last spring). Thinking about indoors though, consider the following:
800 - 8
1000 - 12
Mile - 12
3K - 6
5K - 5
That's 43. And in most of those events the values are conservative if anything.
Are there any blue chip recruits?
Where do you get 12 from the mile?
1st- Sathre
2nd- Diechart
3rd- Shafer
4th- Gilbertson (however he has run horribly thus far)
5th- Saska (probably ahead of reid)
6th- Campbell (probably ahead of reid)
7th- Wendroth
8th- Any Ole/ Hamline Runner will fit here....
I count maybe 10 there but if you put these guys here, then you certainly won't get the 12 points out of the 1000...
It could happen but I do believe it to be a stretch.
I'd count 40 including a dmr by these tallies.
-Sathre will likely run the 5K
-Shafer may run the mile but I would think he'd do the 800
-Campbell graduated last year
Gilbertson hasn't really done anything yet this year but he'll be good for top 4 by conference. Saksa will also be up there. After those guys you could say any of the other 4 Oles that ran in the 1500 final last spring would have a chance at scoring, plus they have others who can go sub 4:32 which would give them a chance. The 1000 is the next day so entries in the mile won't affect that event (nobody that has scoring potential in the 1000 is running it fresh).
Whoa:
Saksa, Brian SO-2 St. Olaf 4:10.37
Sathre, Ben JR-3 St. Thomas (Minn.) 4:10.59
Deichert, Jack SR-4 Hamline 4:12.46
Those are the #5,7, and 14 times in the country so far. Must have been an incredible race.
Saksa looked like he was out of it, but then made his move with about 300 to go and just blew by everyone, it was incredible.
In the 3k Monson was 8:27ish, Wintheiser was 8:32, and Richardson was a little behind Wintheiser.
Would love to see video of that Snowshoe mile if anyone has it.
I know the Eccentric Dave Ricks had a video camera going, during the mile, we'll see if it goes up anywhere.
Some great times. I was wondering the chances at any records, but looking at these Div III times, not likely.
Mile 4:00.96 Karl Paranya, Haverford, 1997
5000 13:53.17 Dan Mayer, North Central, 1994
http://www.cmsathletics.org/ncaa/track/d3indoortracklist-m.pdf
Ben Scheetz of Amherst ran a 4:03.95 recently, so he has a chance. Sathre is actually ranked 6th on the all-time list with his 14:10.99 at Iowa State. Michael Schmidt of Middleberry is just ahead of him with 14:10.30. A good race between them could get close to 14:00 but championship races aren't usually too evenly paced for record times, with Mayer being an exception.
I'd like to know what the 3000 record is. Sathre's 8:07.02 has to be up there too. I don't see why they don't have that race at the championships like they do Div I
Predictions:
Hutton wins the 600 and 800
1000m Deichert Saksa Shafer
MILE Saksa Deihert Haskins
3000m Sathre Monson Richardson
5000m Sathre Monson Franta

Does anybody know how to post videos to letsrun?

Post it to youtube and link it in this thread.
Sathre and Hutton will win both of there races so that doesnt matter. Otherwise distance races will be good. But the real action happens in the field where st. thomas will most likely get most of the points because lets be honest... they are just strong in what ever they do. Ekpo will win the high and triple, with Yseth or Dunne winning the Hepthalon. They will also have strong performances in the weight throw and pole vault. Hamline will be close, but Bethel will also give a run.. both of which will most likely fall short. But it makes for a good meet.
Blair Reigel of GAC is having a good indoor season and is sitting top 2-3 in the 60, 200, LJ, TJ.
Any exciting results from the St. Olaf meet? They still don't have anything up: http://www.stolaf.edu/athletics/track/men/media/2011-12/results/2012-02-25.htm
Nothing really that interesting:

I think Sathre could go sub 14. 14:10 a few weeks ago at IA State. Get him in another fast 5k with DI guys and hes due for a sub 14

I think Sathre should stop posting about himself and using his name in the 3rd person, but hey, that's just me (not Sathre)
