Chat gpt analyzed the results and Bethel men win easily. It will be a battle for second with St. John’s predicted to get second by two points. Both 40 back of Bethel. Power’s inability to recruit “power” event athletes negates any chance of winning. Too bad, because it would be very cool for the new coach to win their first ever title when hosting at home.

This could be the best ever MIAC Championship. So many venue records could fall and also some championship records -

I do think it’s hilarious Nik will be running the conference meet at St. Olaf after Power wouldn’t let him join the team. He has gotten tremendously faster in his time in Duluth. What a victory for a great guy.
I don’t think all those records are correct. Fast Finish is notorious for having incorrect records on their website and I bet they fed them to Hero’s since they use the same interface. I’m the women’s coach will take care of that.

Sorry guys, lots of moving pieces to hosting a meet this big. I spent all night researching what we think are the records. They will be updated this morning. We are looking forward to having you visit our campus. It’s a great day to be a MIAC track athlete.
Thanks for owning your mistake Coach Pattie. You're doing a good job. It's so much more fun not having Chunko yelling at athletes to move away from cheering teammates or screaming at his athletes to move hurdles like Indoors. We got off schedule a few times today, let's try to fix that today.
What a Day Won by the Cobbers - I'm very impressed by the Cobber freshmen multis coming back and crushing the day!
That Bethel 4 x 800 put the fear of God into the Oles. Their sophomore class is special.
Jade Anstine had himself a day. Excited to see what he can do today.
The open women's 800 will be exciting. I'm picking Slavin even though she isn't as fresh.
Hannah Preisser as predicted, ran her national qualifier last night.
The men's 5000m result: I hope Kevin Turlington was under the weather or something. It just doesn't seem like you should be losing to a guy over whom you have a 25-second advantage in PRs. If he wasn't sick, then I'm sad about the tactics of letting it come down to a kick with a predictable outcome.
But holy cow, what a great meet. So many excellent marks over the last couple days.
