MIAC Track Talk

Back in the day I’m pretty sure the Cobbers Throws coach was an assistant on the FB team as well. He recruited for both and coached his guys in both. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more. He got so much more time to work with the players and good footwork body positioning from throws definitely translates to FB.

pretty sure Andrew Crisp has aids - could be wrong.

Seems that track & football success go hand in hand. Not having sprinters/throwers kept the Oles from winning Indoor this year. Many women's team have multi sport athletes - the Gusties, Bennies, Cobbers, and Bethel all have influential athletes that play volleyball or basketball.

Isaiah Watson crushing the TJ today! 14.90! Top five in the country, but still has another 10cm to go to get his school record!

Do you guys remember how fat Power was? Embarrassing!

I still check and inevitably it’s some insignificant grudge/complaint about some coach when it doesn’t matter at all.

I’ve been told that the new Ole track coach has been told his next contract is contingent on getting more high level throwers and sprinters and less distance runners that don’t score. This was huge reason Power received such sucky performance reviews from the strengths coach.

Bethel vs Johnnies 4 x 100 should be fun to see today! Looks like the Johnnies are auditioning their 4 x 800 squad for Drake too.

Who exactly are you, to be told this lol

Can people just start a separate Olaf coaches thread where you can all obsess over every mundane interaction they may or may not have with each other.

I thought it was just power you all were sexually frustrated by, but apparently you all just write Olaf coach fan fiction. Maybe they should hire a Furry to really spice up your content.

This didn’t age well…

Men
Sprints - St. John's open the season with a 41.21, 21st in the country. Three of the team members were not on their relay last year. It is impressive how well they reload
Mid Distance - Olaf's Cullen Moore ran 1:51.66 in California to take the MIAC lead.
Distance- Not a lot to report, probably would pick Malecha's steeple opener or Brauer's 23 second 1500 win
Jumps - Anthony Sletta of St. John's leaps 7.24 to take the MIAC lead by 36 cm.
Throws - Cooper ranks first in the country in the shot put and discus w/ the absurd 19.26 toss at NDSU. There aren't enough superlatives for him.

Women
Sprints -Saint Mary's ranks 36th in the country in the 4 x 100, running 47.75. Bethel ran 47.97 the day before.
Mid Distance - Isabel Wyatt of St. Olaf ran 2:13 at Bryan Clay
Distance - Molly Liston ran a huge PR of 35:36.38 winning the La Crosse 10K by 30 seconds. That's only one second behind what Ole All-American Allison Bode ran to qualify for Nationals last year.
Jumps -Hamline's jumps resurgence continues with the huge 5.56 PR by Mabel Badejo at the Gustie Twilight. She competed in four events at the meet and PR'ed in all three individual events.
Throws - Since she's a thrower at heart, we'll go with the current MIAC Heptathlon leader Tessa Myatt of Macalester. She scored 4443 points to lead the MIAC by 110 points. She's tied for 21st in the country.

Carleton is hosting a chilly meet today, but those traveling to Drake and the U of M may see temps in the 80's this week. Hopefully we'll see some sprint times move up the national list. Drake will be exciting as the Cobbers have entered many different relays. It will be interesting to see how many relays Kyla Nygaard runs.

Bethel, St. John's, and Concordia all made the Men's 4 x 100. Bethel, Concordia, and Saint Mary's all made the women's 4 x 100.

Lelinga is entered in the 800 at the U of M and Schofer wisely enters Ihrke right behind Moore so ensure he'll have a pacer. Should be a good race.

Why was the carletoon meet moved to sunday? Was this some weird ricks mind game? Was this all a ploy so the carls could enjoy party week? Why was Donnas coat so big?

Why did the womens 1500 have 17 people in one heat? might a 10:03 solo steeple in those conditons be the most impressive result weve seen in the miac this year? Has Bethany Lutheran always had those sweet singlets? Is Schofer's hat getting bigger?

Stencel or a Tommy not seeded first is a joke.

Than Maxwell needs to seed him faster. Both guys seeded ahead of him have run those times.

I stand my pick of Cole as the tactical 5K champion and any sort of 1500 race at the MIAC meet.

What is going on at Drake. Slow times and lots of DNS’s.
