Tech Track Wins 13 Events at CSB-SJU Invitational
COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – The Michigan Tech track and field team wrapped up competition in the CSB-SJU Outdoor Invitational yesterday (April 10) on the campus of Saint John's University.
Numerous Huskies earned victories or accomplished high marks in the various events, highlighted by relay wins in both the men's and women's 4x400 as well as the women's 4x100.
Other key performers at the invite include:
Jevon Maddox had a strong showing on the men's side, winning the 200- and 400-meter dashes while placing third in the 100.
Isaac Pringle took second in the 400-meter race to give Tech a sweep of the top-two spots in that event.
Mike Tuski captured the win in the 800-meter run, and the duo of Jacob Jarvis and Christian Albers had a one-two finish in the 110-meter hurdles to complete the solid day for Michigan Tech's men's runners.
Kyle Petermann (discus) and Mike Fisher (high jump) won their field events, while Zach Klassen and Keith Lemley were No. 2 and No. 3 in the pole vault, respectively. Michael Frahm set a career-best in the shot put by posting a 50-3 1/4.
On the women's side, Jamie Dompier continued her dominance in the sprints, winning both the 100- and 200-meter events.
Lauren Tetzloff won the 400-meter by nearly two seconds and Ashley Veale cruised to a victory in the 400-meter hurdles by finishing five seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
Liz Bloch also placed well in the running events, taking home a second-place finish in the 1500-meter run.
"We had some nice results in today's meet and you have to be happy with how our athletes performed," said head coach Joe Haggenmiller. "It was a bit chilly and a little breezy so the times might not be off the charts, but it was a solid effort for us. I'm especially happy with out relay teams for winning three races. Winning the relays is a cool thing to see because it's truly a team effort and shows how strong we are in those events."
Michigan Tech will be back in action next weekend (April 15) at the St. Norbert Twilight in De Pere, Wisconsin.
