\"I think it is safe to say that See is a stud inside the conference. Lex Williams and the rest of the Michigan guys were completely MIA. Michigan was favorited on the rankings going into conference.\"
Wisconsin was amazing but I don\'t think this is the last we hear of Michigan this season. Of course there is no excuse for not showing up, but there are always factors involved...

From the Michigan Daily:
Blue disappointed with sixth-place finish
Wolverines battle flu epidemic, stumble at Big Ten showdown
By Mackenzie Melvin, Daily Sports Writer on 3/3/08
Winning the Big Ten indoor title has been a goal for the Michigan men\'s track and field team all season. Heading into the Big Ten Championship meet at Wisconsin\'s Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center, the Wolverines felt they could land anywhere from second to seventh place.
But they found themselves on the low end with a disappointing sixth-place finish in Madison.
\"We\'re not happy about it,\" Michigan coach Ron Warhurst said.
The Wolverines\' finish marks the first time in five years they have not been in the top four at the meet.
A recent team-wide battle with the flu hindered many Wolverines, and one athlete was at the hospital this weekend fighting the bug. The distance runners suffered the most from the epidemic.
\"They weren\'t able to run much all last week,\" Warhurst said. \"But even if we were hitting on all cylinders, it would have been difficult.\"
