Coach Chunko was big mad today. Sorry the Oles are washed.

Some great results for the Johnnies, Breuer, and Ihrke yesterday.
The craziest thing was watching Ignatius mistakenly turn to jump the water barrier 500m into his 1500. What a monumental brain fart for the pride of the Oles. He seemed on pace for a mid 3:50’s performance, but was understandably DQ’ed.

It was really sad to see. The man just has steeple on the brain. Luckily he didn't lead any other runners astray.
Just terrible coaching from Chunko. His strategy of run hard, turn left really didn't pan out.
looks like "chunko" had his guys less than a second off MIAC record in the 4x8 and defeat the much glazed johnnies. Did the haters speak too soon?
never fear my glorious Johnnies, we may have lost the battle to the stinky Oles this time, but with the guidance of our fearless, albeit geriatric, leader Tim, we shall win the war!
Can we not just enjoy great races from all MIAC teams?
Very great 4x800s today from both the Johnnies and Oles! A pretty good showing from Bethel as well. It appears that the fifth year questions are being answered! Here are my men's 800m rankings, and how I think they'll place (if they all run), with two weeks to go:
Tommy Allen (1)
Lance Nemecek (6)
John Irkhe (2)
Cullen Moore (7)
Nick Brauer (4)
Austin McInturff
Owen Montreuil (45)
Nick St. Peter (8)
Victor Lelinga
Max McCoy
I'm missing a podium finisher you notice? You will understand why tomorrow when Indy Lyness competes at Macalester.
Chunko doesn’t coach the 800. Kopnick coaches all their top middle distance men and women
Will the future be a national champion? Looking forward to seeing him race with competition.

I said it during Indoor, but I am so impressed that little Concordia is producing national level talent. Goss was barely top 20 in MIAC XC and will be a two-time national qualifier as a sophomore. He's so far ahead of Bati, Bocovich, Kelly and is knocking on the door of a Wilkinson type career!
Curious why he wasn’t in a faster heat. Was this strategy by his coach? Or did they not inflate times like other coaches? He likely won’t see any competition until Nationals. And if he improves at the same rate as last year, we can expect a sub 8:40 next outing. I don’t think anyone in the country can match his kick.
How pissed will Coach Chunko be when the Cobber coach (an Ole record holder) is named Coach of the Year?
What in the name of Fast Finish timing is happening with the Drake Relays results on TFFRS? The Future is listed for a different Concordia. Many results aren't showing up on TFRRS including the Johnnies 4 x 800. How is that Ole and Bethel results from the same race show up?
And why aren't the Macalester results on TFRRS? What does it take to find a competent timing company in this state?
Bethel 4x4 with the number 3 time in D3 history, with a dominant finish by Nelson over Conzemius.
TFRRS shows that Nelson outkicked Krissy Gear. In fact, she ran all four legs!
The Johnnies turned the 10th best 4 x 100 in D3 history too. Oles and Johnny 4 x 800's also historically good.
You forgot to mention that The Future now ranks 19th in D3 history running in the slow heat!
More importantly, that time knocked former Ole Will Kelly from the top 25 All-Time.
Can he pass Wilkinson/Gathje this year? And when will he crack a big time 1500? Surely he’s in 3:45 shape. If I’m a high school r coach I tell all my athletes to look at the Cobbers. Their development of Goss is simply outstanding and they don’t have half the resources of other MIAC schools. Cough, cough Northfield.
ur a bum, enjoy ALL the awesome running that is occurring in the MIAC right now (60, 200, steeple, 4x1, 4x4, 4x8, etc.)
Because we want to celebrate greatness when we see it. If the Oles and Carls don’t have national success that’s a failure. When schools like Concordia develop national level talent like the Future, their soon to be MIAC women’s 800m champ, and Cooper it deserves recognition.
Loling at Macalester seeding Ihrke at 1:52.10. Schofer looked at all the BS Ole times and said "Fine, I'll see Ihrke at a silly fast time he hasn't run too." Someone tell Chunko that overseeding his guys and them getting their doors blown off doesn't help his social media campaign to keep the Edina coach from getting his job.
