In old timer news, Mitch Vanbruggen (SJU '08) ran 2:33 for 34th place / 15th American at Boston today. 1:14 first half but good luck finding anyone who even-split today. Big props to him. Jon Lambert also ran a 31:05 PR 10k at Bucknell over the weekend.

I assume there will be a big meet where they'll unleash Hutton on a sub-1:50 hunt. Drake maybe?
I hope Sathre isn't hurt.
Both Sathre and Hutton are entered to race at Mount Sac this weekend. BOOM

They weren't the same age though
Both Tylor Erickson and James Alpers are entered to race at the Carleton Relays this weekend. BAM
It's great to see MIAC alums doing well. It seems that the Johnnies from the class of 08 are doing quite well in the marathon. Chris Erichsen, Mitch Vanbruggen, and Kelly Fermoyle have all been impressive.
Phenomenal 10k by Monson at Hillsdale - 29:37!
Richardson 30:45!
Also noticed that UST alum, Neil Atzinger, ran the 1500 in 3:52 at Hillsdale.
Hutton set a school record at Mt. Sac in 1:49.45, very nice. He then ran 1:49.47 at Drake for an impressive 2nd place.
Sathre ran 14:17.20 at Mt. Sac and placed third in the Drake 10,000 in 29:52, which is very good of course, but I'd expect he could run raster. It may have been wet and windy.
Monson is currently ranked 4th in 10,000, and Sathre 9th.
Sathre is 5th in 5,000, but two guys already broke 14:00.
Saksa is 8th in 1500, Gilbertson 11th.
Hutton 2nd in 800, behind Jake Waterman, who has 1:48.64. Wow. Schafer 15th.
The MIAC seems to blow as a conference indoors and then outdoors it always seems to be much more impressive. Like the 4x400 dominance by the conference 3 years ago. Why is it so bad indoors and why do teams not care about the indoor championships?
Most MIAC coaches know that you can't peak three times a year. Simple explanation.

Was this a serious question?
Pretty nice 800 at Meet of the Saints. St. Olaf and St. Thomas could both go mid-7:30s in the 4x8 at conference if they chose to load it up:
1 Saksa, Brian SO-2 St. Olaf 1:51.91 2 Tomlinson, Brian JR-3 St. Olaf 1:52.23
3 Nienstaedt, AndersJR-3 St. Olaf 1:53.93
4 Schroeder, Alex JR-3 St. Thomas (Minn.)1:54.22
5 Thoreson, Doug FR-1 St. Thomas (Minn.)1:54.68
6 Mueller, Doug FR-1 St. Thomas (Minn.)1:54.75
7 Lemke, Stefan SO-2 St. Olaf 1:55.08
8 Gilbertson, Reid SR-4 St. Olaf 1:55.80
11 Olson, Evan JR-3 St. Olaf 1:56.79
12 Moynihan, Ruairi JR-3 St. John's (Minn.)1:56.87
15 Erickson, TimothySO-2 St. Olaf 1:57.21
19 Folken, Christian SO-2 St. Olaf 1:58.52 -
I scored the meet based on entries, plus best relay estimates, plus decathlon results. I came up with:
St. Thomas-- 170
Hamline-- 139
GAC-- 129
Bethel--87
St. J-- 80
St. O-- 76
St. Thomas has scorers in just about every event and already has 24 points in the bank from the decathlon. They'll be tough to beat. I'd say that Hamline has a good shot but they already have so many guys favored to win events-- it's tough to over-perform in that situation.

That's it. Let's save everyone their weekend and just not even hold the meet.
Fine with me.
10000 Meter Run
1 Devin Monson, Sr, Hamline 32:17.13
2 Ben Sathre, Jr, St. Thomas 32:17.54
3 Ellis Richardson, Sr, Hamline 32:23.53
4 Bobby Davis, Jr, Carleton 32:34.59

7 Mark Bartley, Sr, Gustavus 32:43.17
8 Adam Lund, Jr, Gustavus 32:49.71
That must have been an interesting race. How did the last 800 go? Sathre runs nearly 3 minutes slower than his previous time, yet gets beaten. Did the coach tell him not to push it too hard and save it for the 5000?

It went out same as it went out last year: quite slow. They were taking it real easy till one of the Tommies that didn't score sprinted into first to try to screw up Monson and Richardson. Didn't last long, Monson, Sathre, and Richardson were all together till about 200 meters left, and Monson looked like he wanted it a little more. Also Sathre was wearing flats.
5k was pretty similar. It was real conservative till there was about a mile left. Deichert ended up winning it over Sathre with his mid distance speed. Monson 3rd, Richardson 4th I believe. Looked like one of Monson's shoes came untied or something.
One of the tommies that didn't score? He got fifth,which I'm pretty sure scores, first of all, and he didn't do it as an attempt to mess up richardson and monson, he did it as a legitimate attempt to win the race, sure, it didn't quite work out but I don't think he has the utmost confidence in his speed.

Interesting, I was under the impression it was the other Tommie that didn't score. All the power to him, that was just a very strange strategy, he looked to be at an all out sprint with another 5 or so laps to go, and he (unsurprisingly) was able to hold that pace for maybe 200 meters? It's not that I don't believe you, it was just quite strange.
