MEET RESULTS

ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- The Augsburg College men and women's indoor track and field teams started competition at the MIAC indoor championships at McNeely Spectrum on the campus of Saint John's University on Friday afternoon. The Auggie men and women set 11 indoor personal records and three indoor school records on the first day.

The Auggie men finished the first day in eighth place and are taking plenty of momentum into the second day. Augsburg's Undre Smith-Brewer led the way for the Auggie men, claiming a conference championship in the 60-meter dash, setting an Augsburg and facility record with a 6.91-second victory. 

Sean Adams set a school record in the heptathlon with 3,667 points. Heptathlon competition started on Thursday with Adams completing the 60-meter dash in a personal best 7.55 seconds, and recorded great numbers in the long jump (18-feet-7.25), shot put (34-feet-5.75) and high jump (5-feet-2.25) to put him in sixth place. Day two saw Adams fall to 10th place overall after competing in the 60-meter hurdles (9.98), pole vault (9-feet-8) and recording a personal best in the 1,000-meter run (3:06.42). 

Barinedum Kordah recorded a personal best and finished in second place in the 400-meter dash with a time of 49.98, just 0.3 seconds behind the winner. Kordah also competed in the long jump and finished in sixth with a distance of 21-feet-3.5.

The Auggie women had a strong day as well, finishing in seventh place, highlighted by Lauren Rice winning the MIAC championship in the 5,000-meter run, breaking the Augsburg indoor and McNeely Spectrum records. Rice finished in first place by a landslide, with the second-place runner crossing the finish line 39 seconds behind her record mark of 17:19.92. 

Callie Jones and Ashley Waalen each set new personal bests in the 60-meter dash with times of 8.17 and 8.42 respectively. Jones qualified for the finals with an even faster mark of 8.00 seconds, but her time in the finals placed her in eighth. Molly Allen also competed in the sprint, recording a time of 8.39 seconds. Kai Mason qualified for the finals in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.45 and bested that in the finals crossing the finish line in 9.38 seconds for eighth place. 

Kayla Roberge also set a personal record in the 800-meter run, finishing in fifth place with a time of 2:16.92. Taybri Irving, Marta Anderson, Emma Blom and Roberge competed in the distance medley relay and finished seventh with a time of 13:01.43.
