MINNEAPOLIS - The Golden Gopher men's track & field team won six events on the track and another five titles in the field events as the team hosted the season-opening Minnesota Open at the University of Minnesota Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.
Redshirt sophomores Jonathan Webb and Matthew Baker and redshirt freshman Mason Roomes won individual titles and joined redshirt senior Brad Neumann to make up the Gophers' winning 4x400-meter relay team.
Webb won the 60-meter dash in 6.88 seconds and Baker won the 400-meter dash in 51.17 seconds while Roomes won long jump with a mark of 7.28m (23-10.75). The quartet won the 4x400m relay in 3:23.35.
Freshman Teddy Frid won the 60-meter hurdles in 8.19 seconds, and redshirt freshman Jack Manderscheid won the mile in his Gopher debut, clocking a time of 4:18.80 to cruise to a three-second win.
The Gophers swept the three jumping events. Along with Roomes' long jump crown, redshirt sophomore Sammie Houston won triple jump with a leap of 14.02m (46-00.00) and redshirt senior Ryan Lockard cleared 2.06m (6-09.00) to win the high jump.
Redshirt sophomores Connor Rousemiller and Jonathan Tharaldsen took home titles in the throwing events. Rousemiller won the weight throw at 18.11m (59-05.00), and Tharaldsen won the shot put with a toss of 16.75m (54-11.50).
Unattached Gopher Lucas Trapp won the 800m in 1:53.75, and University of Minnesota alum Nate Roese won the 600m in a meet-record time of 1:18.64 as well.
