It sounds like you're blaming Lavey that Stumbo was DQ'd. Do you feel he had something to do with it? I think everyone feels bad that Stumbo was denied credit for a very nice race, but direct the blame at the officials, not Lavey. Lavey's race was a very good one regardless of what happened.
DO NOT SPEAK ILL OF STEPHEN LAVEY! HE IS A GOD AMONGST MEN WHO RAN A BRILLIANT RACE TO PLACE WELL IN A VERY DEEP FIELD.
Sorry to stumbo but please leave the sweet, honest, hardworking wisconsinite out of it. Thanks.
What happened in the 3k for Stumbo to get DQ'ed? Too bad since he looked pretty good, especially compared to his 5k.
The live results simply stated "Rule 5-3g curve line". I assume it means the officials felt he had stepped inside of the track at some point?
people sleeping hard on are freshman class, we bout to be real dangerous!! Kids coming back from surgeries and injury’s. First work out back from IC and Moe Smith looking better than his high schools days. Would not be surprised if he places high in 1500 or 5 k at OC big potential. Keegan HAMson who took indoor off to focus hard going to dominate in 10k this year. I am obviously going to win it. Also Biel final got his flight back from altitude. Don’t sleep this is a warning for all!
Looking back at conference...what school had the best weekend in the distance events? Not necessarily points-wise, but performance based on expectations?
My rankings:
1. Carleton - Besides Mueller, who ran poorly? Wilkinson, Meilke, Lavey, Rives, and Santos all had at least 1 fantastic race plus others had SBs.
2. Concordia - Only had 6 runners but all ran season-bests. Plus a surprising 4x8 podium finish.
3. SJU - A ton of SBs and outperformed their seedings.
4. Olaf - Really solid overall with studs performing well (Lonergan/Kadrofske/Streseman)
5. Hamline - Not many runners, but all ran really well. Fern was a meet highlight.
6. UST - Lot of great runners, but not many great races.
7. Bethel - Lelinga was solid but not much else.
8. Gustavus - No top-5 performances. Stumbo and NJ disappointed, but Wicklund and Grant did alright.
9. MAC - Just 2 runners and ran what was expected.
10. Augsburg - Just Hussien and he ran poorly.
11. St. Mary's - Just Meaden and ran he even worse.
Disagree? Make your case.

Frank + Fernando >>>> Jesse Middendorf + Munir
Zach Haire + Max Gifford >>> Kadrofske + Stressman
Garry Grant + Ben Wicklund + Stumbo>>>>>>> Whoever the hell ran for Bethel
St Johns scored... 6 points in individual distance events? That probably disqualified them from finishing in the top 6.

Distance events including 600 and DMR -
Carleton: 71 points; 6 individual scorers
St. Thomas: 42 points; 5 individual scorers
Concordia: 42 points; 3 individual scorers
St. Olaf: 38 points; 3 individual scorers
Hamline: 25 points; 3 individual scorers
Bethel: 16 points; 2 individual scorers
Gustavus: 9 points*; 3 individual scorers*
St. Johns: 9 points; 2 individual scorers
Macalester: 8 points; 1 individual scorer
Just checked the math. St. Thomas scored 50pts in those events
Entries are out!
4 MIACers in the mile. Wilkinson in the 3k/5k. 'Dorf in the 800.
UW- La Crosse athletes are currently being restricted from competing at indoor nationals this weekend due to the University’s fear of the Coronavirus... Crazy!
Won’t be long till NCAA shuts down outdoor track
Carleton just cancelled spring athletics
Will rest of the MIAC follow?
NCAA's is donzo, MIAC is still good to go as of now.
So far St. Thomas, Saint Mary's, Carleton are all online with Carleton canceling spring sports. St. Thomas is still a go for sports. No word on Saint Mary's but they don't contribute much anyways.
How much interest would there be for an unofficial competition? Say we all agreed to meet at a track in 3-4 weeks and run an 800/1500/5k. Would be a great opportunity for everyone, especially seniors, to get one last race in while we are still in good shape.
Sad day for the MIAC. Nat'l qualifiers were ripped off and this is a way too dismal end to the year for athletes, especially seniors. As for other competitions, I believe they can't be hosted on site of a MIAC (or possibly even NCAA) school. I support efforts to make this happen though.
This coming spring would have been full of excitement, no doubt. JV scrubs and stuck-up alums alike would duke it out head-to-head through the gift of anonymous forum posts and it sucks to see it go.
It's official: Beer mile, Manitou Field, 10pm monday night (3/16). Last miac competition of the season. All invited
Results?
In the first /hopefully last Covid Classic Jeans Mile at Olaf, Wilkinson outkicks Lonergan with a sizzling last lap to run 4:17 / 4:21. Practicing social distancing, Wachter races remotely at home - good for 3rd in 4:23. Fernando 4th in 4:28? Meikle and Gustafson 5th & 6th in high 4:30s.
Kadrofske hangs on against McGivern to take the win in the Covid Classic "Dual Under the Clouds" 2 mile - 9:29/9:31.
Race videos out later today.
It’s been real everybody. Sad our seniors didn’t get one last go, but I’m happy to have made the transfer from the NSIC to the MIAC.
Future looks bright for central MN.
