RESULTS

MANKATO, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica men's track & field team had its outdoor opener on Wednesday with the Maverick Winter Invitational, hosted by Minnesota State.
 
Schedule Changes
The Saints were originally scheduled to compete in the Lee Krough Invitational at Gustavus Adolphus College on Saturday, but the weather forecast canceled that meet. So Minnesota State decided to put a meet together midweek so teams could get a chance to compete and the Saints jumped at the opportunity.
 
Steger Wins in Debut
In his collegiate track & field debut, Ryan Steger (Eagan, Minn./Eagan HS) captured the 800m run event with a time of 1:57.80. Steger has already competed in cross country and the nordic ski teams thus far this year.
 
Boedigheimer Wins the 5k
Another freshman Isaac Boedigheimer (Cloquet, Minn./Cloquet HS) won the 5000m run by 11 seconds with a time of 15:34.79.
 
Other Top Performances
Frank Cerar (Plainview, Minn./Plainview-Elgin-Millville HS) was fourth in the pole vault, clearing 12'6.25" (3.82m). He was also fourth in the javelin with a toss of 116'8" (35.57m). Wyatt Helgeson (International Falls, Minn./Falls HS) was fifth in that event with a mark of 108'2" (32.96m).
