MIAC Track 2020

GOATED

Arne isn't good and never will be. Can we start talking about people who actually matter?

How about more discussion on Lars Ripley then? Do you think he will sit and kick to his 12:24 or will he lead from the gun?

if Lars "my dad is a fucing idiot" ripley runs faster than 17:00 flat I will personally assist in giving him a medically induced coma with his dad

The St. Olaf individuals are somehow looking good compared to their dmr. The last time I saw a team the dismal was when the freshman lined up for case race.

-Wilkinson not in mile

-Kozlowski not in 800

-Mueller is entered 3k/5k

Other surprises/any predictions?

No huge surprises here.

Happy to see Mueller doing that double and maybe DMR again.

Wachter is doing the mile/1k/3k triple. Thought he might just do 3k on Sat, but good for him.

Too bad about Kozlowski...possibly doing DMR? Hope he can recover for outdoor.

A little surprised Fern opted for the mile instead of converting his 8:39 to the 5k. Very unlikely he gets top 3 in the mile, but had a real chance in the 5k.

I'll save my predictions until tomorrow.

The accepted entry list showed Wilkinson, Wachter, and Lonergan all anchoring their DMR teams. That should make for a fun conclusion to Friday

This would be incredible. Where is this DMR lineup link? Hamline could potentially put together a nice DMR with Fern/Roen/Gustafson

Have been hearing rumblings from a source close to UST that Biel Wiel has been taking online classes while training with a group Kenyan sub-elites in Nairobi. Allegedly ran a 3:51 1500 on a dirt track and will be returning to run the 1200 leg of their DMR. Not sure if any what I’m hearing is true, but could be huge shake up for the DMR

2020 Indoor MIAC Predictions! In order of racing schedule…

5000: Wilkinson wins to start the weekend. The only one who could challenge him would be Mueller, who should get 2nd. A couple of runners can contend for 3rd but I think Meilke pulls it out to complete the Carleton sweep. Kadrofske and Stumbo battle it out for 4th and 5th.

1. Wilkinson

2. Mueller

3. Meilke

Mile: 3 fantastic milers in this all with fresh legs. Some be a fun one. This will be the 3rd straight year these top 3 will compete against each other in this event with Wachter beating the other 2 both previous times. That said, I think Lonergan wins by a step over Wachter, with Gustafson finishing 3rd. Fern should get 4th and I’ll go Isahak at 5th.

1. Lonergan

2. Wachter

3. Gustafson

800: Toughest race to pick a winner, but I'm rolling with Middendorf to beat JCG and the field. 'Dorf performed well at indoor/outdoor conference last year and JCG has a habit of leading the first 500m of these races only to get out-kicked later on. Noah “NJ” Johnson gets 3rd, Lelinga gets 4th and Gifford 5th.

1. Middendorf

2. JCG

3. NJ

DMR: This will be the race of the weekend with some stacked line-ups. I just don’t see any team beating a full Tommie squad of Gifford-Prater-Carl-Wachter. It is close between Olaf/Carleton for 2nd, but Olaf takes it.

1. UST

2. Olaf

3. Carleton

1000: Day 2 for distance events will start with a bang– facility record in the 1k courtesy of Sean Lonergan. He wins his 2nd MIAC title of the weekend by once again beating Gustafson and Wachter in a fast race. Stresemann 4th and Gifford 5th.

1. Lonergan

2. Gustafson

3. Wachter

3000: Easy Wilkinson win- I don’t see how this couldn’t happen with a tired Wachter on his (potentially) 4th race and Mueller possibly not 100%. I’ll go Mueller taking 2nd and Fern the bronze. Wachter drops to 4th and Grant 5th.

1. Wilkinson

2. Mueller

3. Benitez

Day 1 Recap:

5k: Wilkinson looked smooth winning in 14:47. A nice race for 2nd between Meilke and Kadrofske running fast 14:48s. Mueller looked strong early but faded late for 4th. Stumbo 's finish was disappointing, but Grant and Wicklund had real solid races for Gustie Nation.

Mile: Longeran took 1st and Gustafson 2nd. Race of the day may go to Fern running a big PR and beating Wachter for 3rd. Didn't think that would happen. No other crazy good performances or times.

800: Came down to the wire, but 'Dorf beat JCG at the line. Fast times up front with 4 runners breaking 1:56. Crazy that JCG and Henschel were the only 2 seniors in the race.

DMR: As expected, the 2 teams with the best milers in the race went 1-2. Concordia ran well for 3rd. Didn't get great splits for any leg, but guessing Wilkinson had a crazy fast anchor leg. Anyone got splits?

Excited for tomorrow. 600 battle between Dorf, JCG, and Palmer will be underrated event that'll be down to the wire. In the 1k, Lonergan will win but Gifford could sneak out a top 3 finish...he looked good today in the 8. In the 3k, Fern could build on his mile and compete for 2nd with Mueller and Wachter. Lot of good runners in there.

MIAC Champion Matt Wilkinson seems to be overshadowed by something more pressing. The Nike Cheater-fly Next% have officially made their debut in the MIAC and it’s already racked up some staggering numbers. UST’s George McGivern, who was sporting a blindingly pink pair of pogo-shoes, beat 13 people today and seemed to have an unfair advantage over the likes of Treymane Collins in the first heat of the 3k... fair use? We need to see some regulation soon or MIAC records will begin to fall.

Day 2 Recap:

600: Fantastic race with 3 guys breaking facility record. Dorf has another great conference race beating JCG at the line.

1k: Lonergan wins relatively easily. Wachter with another runner-up finish. Gustafson not great today. Concordia showed up here with Isahak getting 3rd in massive PR and Olson getting 9th out of the slowest heat.

3k: Wilkinson becomes 9th fastest 3k runner in D3 history...dominance on display. Fern looked smooth for an easy 2nd place. Impressed with Haire and Lavey getting 3rd and 4th with big PRs.

Best Weekend: Wilkinson (won 5k, 3k, DMR), Lonergan (won mile, 1k), Middendorf (won 6,00, 800, 4x4), and Fern (2nd in 3k and 3rd in mile)

Honestly pretty impressed with elliots weekend. Nearly 20 second PR in the 5k. Can he squeeze out a trip to natty’s with another big PR?

Great performance by Stephen Lavey getting "fourth"*. Real nice "4th"* place finish by Steve Lavey. Some would argue only 3 runners finished before him.
