MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota track & field program returns to action this weekend with a pair of meets including Kentucky's Rod McCracy Memorial.Â
The Maroon & Gold will be in competition at the two-day event (Friday, Jan. 24-Saturday, Jan. 25) with the meet held at Nutter Field House in Lexington, Ky.Â
Additionally, the Gophers will send a contingency to UW-Stout Open in Menomonie, Wis., on Saturday, Jan. 25.Â
Last Time Out: Success Down in Iowa
The Maroon & Gold locked up seven individual titles last weekend at Iowa's Larry Wieczorek Invitational with Val Larson, Erin Dunning, Sophie Schmitz, Michael Burke, Evan Ferlic, Dawson LaRance and Nick Rink picking up titles for Minnesota. Additionally, the Gopher women took home the team championship while the men finished as the runner up.Â
Track & Field Captains
On the men's side, Alec Basten, Kieran McKeag, Jackson Wellenstein, Teddy Frid, and Jonathan Tharaldsen will lead the squad in 2020 while Rachel Schow, Ayesha Champagnie, Erin Huls, Abby Kohut-Jackson, Ryan Crotty, and Val Larson will serve as captains on the women's side.
2019 Track & Field Season Rewind
The Gophers wrapped up the 2019 track & field season with six All-Americans at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships led by two First Team All-Americans in Obsa Ali (3,000-meter steeplechase) and Temi Ogunrinde (hammer throw). Second Team All-America nods went to Alec Basten (3,000-meter steeplechase), Bethany Hasz (5,000-meter run), Tess Keyzers (shot put), and Kieran McKeag (hammer throw). The Minnesota women finished fifth at the 2019 Big Ten Conference Outdoor Championships while the men came in eighth in the team standings.
Preseason National Rankings
The Gopher women open the season ranked No. 7 in the nation according to the USTFCCCA NCAA Division I National Rating Index while Minnesota comes in 30th in the men's indoor track & field national rating index. Seventeen Gophers are nationally ranked in individual events to kick off the season as well.Â
Indoor Records Fall
The Gopher women have already set all-time top-10 marks in six events this season, led by Bethany Hasz and Megan Hasz both breaking Minnesota's previous program record in the 5,000-meter run. Meanwhile, the Gopher men have set all-time top-10 marks in four events this season.
