After earning four top ten finishes in the MIAC decathlon the Carleton men’s track and field team heads to the MIAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., eager to improve on its ninth place finish a year ago. The key to the team’s success will be strong performances from a number of young Knights.

While the rest of their teammates were busying hosting the Carleton Interscholastic High School Meet, four members of the Knights men’s track and field team traveled to the Meet of the Unsaintly hosted by Hamline University.

C.J. Dale and Dylan Cheever earned All-MIAC Honorable Mention by finishing fourth and sixth respectively at the MIAC Decathlon. Dale’s placement was the best by a Knight since Steve Burch ’90 finished third in 1990.

In its final competition before the conference championships, the Carleton College men’s track and field team hosted cross-town rival St. Olaf College for the annual Rolex Classic. The Knights won 10 of the 18 events contested during this year’s two-day competition. Sophomore Marcus Huderle opened the two-day meet with a stellar performance in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Carleton added nine more first-place results on Tuesday.
