Augsburg University Athletics

Carrie Lind Cabe '01 was a two-year member of Augsburg’s women’s track and field team, after transferring from Wisconsin-La Crosse, and became one of the top weight throwers in school history. In her first indoor meet as an Auggie in 1999, she set the school record for the weight throw, and continued to build on that mark until setting a then-MIAC-record 57-feet, 10-1/4-inch effort in winning the league title. Lind won the MIAC title in the indoor weight throw in 1999 and finished second in 2000. In NCAA Division III national competition, she placed second in the country in the event in both 1999 and 2000, earning All-American honors. In outdoor track and field, despite having to recover from a foot injury during her senior season, she set Augsburg’s school record in the hammer throw (156-feet-7) in 2000, en route to finishing second in the 2000 MIAC outdoor championships and ninth in the event at the NCAA Division III national championships. She also appeared at the NCAA outdoor championships in her sophomore season at Wisconsin-La Crosse, finishing fourth in the hammer throw at the 1998 meet. A psychology and religion major at Augsburg with a 3.88 grade-point average, she earned Senior Honor Athlete honors in 2000. She earned MIAC Academic All-Conference Honor Roll honors, U.S. Track and Field Coaches Association All-Academic Team honors and CoSIDA Academic All-District honors in 2000, in addition to earning Dean’s List honors. She was active in Campus Ministry and as an assistant hall director for Mortensen Hall during her college years. Since graduating in 2001, Cabe has worked for the Edina Public Schools Community Education department, starting as a recreation leader and now managing a site at Concord Elementary School. She also is a member and past conference chair of the Minnesota School Age Care Alliance. Cabe and her husband, Chris, have one son, Liam, and live in Maple Grove, Minn.
