The best part of all of the season for SDSU Track is the relays at Drake. Especially the DMR (1200-400-800-1600) and the 4x800. Last year SDSU saw success in those events and I am expecting the same this year!

Iowa State Classic and Fargo Recaps
This past weekend was a record setting one for the Jackrabbit Track and Field Teams. Here is a few highlights of the meets:
1. Jake Schneller took down Coach Rod DeHaven's Indoor 800m record. Coach Dehaven had run 1:51.51 and Jake ran 1:51.14. It was a good run and Jake looks to be one of the favorites for the Summit League 800m title.
2. DMR- Mike Krsnak (2:59), Jared Foote (48.3), Dom Thielen (1:53) and Jake Schneller (4:09) won the meet and took down the school record set just two years ago. They also barely missed the all-time state record set by USD in 2007. This relay team sits 18th in Division 1 right now.
3. Gina Fritz ran a #4 All-Time performance in the 200m with a time of 25.25. She joins the elite company of Heather Wollman, Cameryn Christion, and Brittany Garner and vaults to #6 in the Summit League. Gina is a true freshman and looks promising for the next few years.
4. Jared Vlastuin continues his long and high jumping success while winning both events and setting a school record in the latter. Jared jumped over 7 feet for the first time. He bettered Ben Jasinski's school record, set last year, by just a half inch. Jared ranks 33rd nationally in the High Jump and 22nd nationally in the Long Jump.
5. The 4x4 relay team of Jake Schneller, Jared Foote, Brandon Priebe, and Chris Curry ran a time of 3:17.08, good for #2 All-Time at SDSU. The only team they trail is that of last year starring Luke Leischner.
6. Chris Curry ran a PR of 22.33 in the 200. This run is better than his outdoor PR of last year. Chris looks to make a big impact at the Summit League meet next weekend in Ft. Wayne.
7. Jared Foote ran an indoor best of 48.72, moving up to #3 All-Time at SDSU. His run also ranks him 4th in the Summit League.
8. PRs abounded as Dom Thielen also recorded one. Dom ran 1:52.30 to win his heat in fashion and almost take the 800 title out of the second heat. This is a PR by over a half second and ranks Dom 6th in the Summit League. This run also ranks him #5 All-Time at SDSU.
9. Greg Vollmer and Trent Lusignan continue their success over 3000 meters this season. They both set PRs and ran under 8:30. Greg cracked the top-10 by only .2 seconds. Also PRing in the 3k were Brian Brochman and Drew Kraft with times of 8:44 and 8:46.
10. In the 5000m, I broke 15 for the first time and Greg Beesley continues to blaze the comeback trail with a 23 second improvement over last week.
11. Krista Creager is a very consistent 2:17 800m runner. However, this weekend she ran a near PR and an indoor best of 2:16.9!
12. Courtney Neubert makes a solid debut in the 5000m running an 18:12. This time ranks her 13th in the Summit League.
13. Andrew Thies has a solid debut in the 3000. The freshman ran the Mile in 4:34 then came back in the 3000 with a 9:14.
14. Mike Bredeson and Bennett Mercil gear up to score some points in the Heptathlon at the conference meet. Both men broke 4000 points and look to improve on that in a few weeks.
15. Mary Wirth and Lora Shearer beat rival Toni Tollefson of NDSU in the High Jump.
16. The women's distance crew was full of great performances
a. Josie Oakland and Katie Boote ran 11:03 and 11:06 in the 3000
b. Leah Bolon set another season best in the Mile at 5:24 as did Molly Kopfman and Alex Suhr
c. Molly also ran strong in the 800 with a 2:27
17. McKenzie Johnson captured the women's shot put with a throw of nearly 44 feet. The freshman is ranked 8th in the Summit in the event.
18. Brooke Garner completed the Throws double, winning the Weight Throw.

Jacks at Jack!
The Jackrabbit Track and Field team competed fiercely at the Jack Johnson Invite hosted by the U of Minnesota on Saturday, January 21st. Solid performances came from all events.
The Men's sprinters ran well with Chris Curry making the finals in the 60m with a PR of 7.17. Curry and Foote both scored in the 200 with 22.89 and 23.01 respectively. Foote also ran strong in his heat of the 400, winning with a time of 49.69.
The Mid-D crew brought the heat as usual. Jake Schneller ran a strong opener with a 1:53.53 opener in the 800. Mike Krsnak also came back in the 800 with a 1:57.28. The fast heat of the men's Mile might have been the race of the day. Krsnak JV kicked his way into second place with a 4:09.03, .13 seconds behind NDSU's Travis Fitzke. In the second heat of the Mile both Dom Thielen and Drew Kraft ran PRs of 4:18.70 and 4:25.40. Freshmen Andrew Thies improved by 4 seconds and looks to continue to cut time. Big T Lusignan comes up big again in the 3000 with an 8:34 beating all of Minnesota's Freshmen. Out of the second heat, I ran well and Brian Brochman had a great first race in a Jackrabbit uniform. Most importantly, Brian beat his rival, Marty Joyce of NDSU.
Brandon Priebe in the 60m hurdles and the 4x4 remained consistent in their second meet of the year.
In the men's field Jared Vlastuin finished second in the High Jump tying his PR of 2.10 meters. The Men's Pole Vault, Calvin Cammack and Ryan Schaefer placed with vaults of 4.75 and 4.60 meters. Vlastuin also won the Long Jump with a Jump of 7.26 meters. Bennett Mercil PR'd by 500 points in the Heptathlon with a score of 4097. In the throwing arena, Jake Brinkmann placed 7th in the Weight Throw.
On the Women's side the sprinters represented well. 3 women, Ashley Odegaard, Megan Bren, and Gina Fritz , qualified for finals in the 60m. Bren also placed in the 200 with a timing of 25.99.
Krista Creager started off the distance crew with an ever consistant 2:19. Laura Lawton took 5 seconds off last week and Brooke Peterson ran well doubling back from the mile. In the Mile run, Tera Potts runs a near PR 5:09, Danielle McCann runs a 10 second PR of 5:15, and Brooke Peterson runs nearly 10 seconds faster than last week. Erin Hargens ran 10:03 in the 3k. She now ranks 2nd in the Summit League in that event. Courtney Neubert had a nice 3k debut at 10:38 and ran a very smart race.
In the Women's field, Ashley Odegaard captured a 3rd place finish with a near PR of 5.27 meters. Mary Wirth, Lora Shearer, and Kali Olson all placed for the Jackrabbits in the high jump. Wirth also placed 4th in the Triple Jump. Brooke Garner led the throwers with a 4th place finish in the Weight Throw. In the Pentathlon, Lora Shearer improves her Summit League leading score with a 3597.
Overall, it was a great day to be a Jackrabbit!
Now for the important part; the selection of the Athlete of the meet. It was especially hard this meet as there were many great performances but none that stood out far above the rest.
This week's winner is one who will always be in consideration because he is always jumping high and far and is near the top of the competition. Jared Vlastuin jumped to second in the Summit High Jump Standings and further secured his second place in the Long Jump Standings.
Honorable Mention #1 is the Milers- Big PRs for Dom and Danielle and small PRs for Drew and Krsnak. Krsnak also almost won.
Honorable Mention #2 is Erin Hargens. Erin ran the second fastest time in The Summit League in the 3000 in her Jackrabbit debut at the distance. I may have to change my picks for the conference meet now!
Honorable Mention #3 are the Multi-event stars Bennett and Lora. Bennett PR'd by 500 points and Lora extended her Summit League lead in the event while winning the event.
