Wisconsin LaCrosse and North Central

What a great night for Augustana track and field. First and foremost both Adou Omot and Brian Werner had huge pr's. Adou crossed the line in 1:49.46 which places him 2nd on the national list. Werner crossed in 1:51 which is his fastest clocking ever. Both times put them in position to gain entry to the national meet.

In addition to those performances Cecilie Udstuen ran 2:13 in the 800m for her best time this season. Noel Bentele threw a personal best of 171-10 in the hammer to move up to 16th on the national list.

At the North Central meet just outside of Chicago both Travis Beniak and Dan Black posted personal bests. Beniak ran 9:04 and Black ran 9:09. Beniaks time is an automatic qualifier for the national meet while Dan's time places him 17th on the national list with a provisional mark.

 The steeple will go off at 9:50 central time this evening. Temps should be in the high 50's and the wind should be around 5 mph from the west. Perfect conditions. Both Dan and Travis are seeking to set new personal bests under 9:10 in the steeple.

  1. Congratulations to our young men and women for their outstanding performances. It is a great joy to witness the development of these young people and Augustana's Track and Field program. I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 12:26.

    Peace,
