Indoor Records Fall
The Gopher women broke three indoor program records this season: shot put (Kiley Sabin), 3,000m run (Bethany Hasz), and 5,000m run (Megan Hasz). In total, the women has 16 additions to the program's all-time top-10 indoor list in 14 different events. On the men's side, seven 'U' competitors posted all-time top 10 performances in eight events.

Kieran McKeag (12th in men's weight throw), Kiley Sabin (14th in women's shot put), Jonathan Tharaldsen (14th in men's shot put), and Obsa Ali (15th in men's 5,000 meters) represented Minnesota at the national meet.
2019 Big Ten Indoor Championships Rewind
The Gopher women's program finished seventh with 60 points while the men came in ninth with 36 points at the 2019 Big Ten Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship. Val Larson and Tess Keyzers were honored as Second Team All-Big Ten selections with runner-up finishes in the women's 600 meters and the women's weight throw, respectively. Meanwhile, Obsa Ali and Jonathan Tharaldsen led the way for the men with third-place finishes in the men's 5,000 meters and the men's shot put, respectively.
Gophers Honor Senior Class
Minnesota honored its seniors during the Snowshoe Open and Parents Day Invite. The Gophers celebrated the achievements of graduating seniors Jenna Conzemius, Abby Kargol, Abby Lange, Patty O'Brien, Paige Peschel, Ally Smith, Sophia Anderson, Karlie Place, Wilsonique Delson, Kailtyn Long, Temi Ogunrinde, Kiley Sabin, Obsa Ali, Matt Rosen, James Travis, and Eric Walker.
Gophers Name Captains
Matthew Rosen, Teddy Frid, Jackson Wellenstein, Jonathan Tharaldsen, Evan Ferlic, Temi Ogunrinde, Kiley Sabin, Rachel Schow, and Patty O'Brien are leading the Gophers as captains this season. Ogunrinde returns to the team's leadership corps after serving as a captain last season while O'Brien and Ferlic continue their captaincy after leading the Gopher cross country squad this fall.
2019 Outdoor Schedule Highlights
Highlighting the outdoor slate are three meets at the new University of Minnesota Track and Field Stadium, which provides the Gophers the opportunity to compete outdoors on campus for the first time in over 15 years. The Gophers' three home outdoor meets are the Minnesota Spring Open (April 13), the Minnesota Women's Twilight Meet (April 24), and the Minnesota Men's Twilight Meet (May 1). In total, the outdoor season includes 10 weeks of competition, and the Gophers will compete in Florida, California, Minnesota, Arizona, North Carolina, Iowa, Louisiana, Iowa, and Texas.
Gophers Celebrate Track & Field Stadium Grand Opening
The University of Minnesota and Gopher Athletics celebrated a new era of track & field with the grand opening of the University of Minnesota Track and Field Stadium on Monday, Sept. 17. Located in the heart of the new Athletes Village area, this facility will become synonymous with track & field excellence in the Midwest. It will not only provide a first-class experience for the Gophers, but it will also provide a wonderful venue for the state's largest amateur meets and a Minnesota option for USA Track & Field to place its marquee events in the Upper Midwest.
The University of Minnesota Track and Field Stadium gives Minnesota its first opportunity in more than 15 years to host home outdoor meets, including Big Ten and NCAA competition. The facility features a nine-lane track with the Beynon 2000 surface, full-field event hosting capabilities, versatile configuration, fully enclosed, heated warm-up and cool down areas, and grandstands with the capacity to host major competitions.
Gopher Women Add 11 for 2019-20
Director of track & field and cross country Matt Bingle has announced the addition of 11 incoming Gophers who will join the Maroon & Gold for the 2019-20 season. The newest class of Gophers includes Lexy Berger, Devia Brown, Jayla Campbell, McKenzie Duwenhoegger, Camryn Huggans, Janielle Josephs, Grace Kowalkowski, Taylor Kreitinger, Sydney Kretlow, Akilah Lewis, and Megan Lundstrom. The newest group of Gophers includes three throwers, two pole vaulters, three sprinters, and three distance runners.
Up Next: Stanford Invitational
The Gophers have a week off from competition before resuming the outdoor slate at the Stanford Invitational on Friday, March 29 and Saturday, March 30.
