A pair of 800 meter personal records highlighted the second day of competition at the Iowa State Classic on the men's side as Dawson LaRance and Shane Streich posted top-five finishes for the Maroon & Gold. The duo, who finished third and fifth in the finals, actually flipped spots on Minnesota's all-time top-10 list with LaRance moving up to ninth at 1:49.47 and Streich moving back to 10th at 1:49.62 despite both runners posting their best marks in a Gophers uniform.Â
The 4x400 meter relay team of Collin Sieffert, Josh Tracy, Grant Fuller and Ben Ose closed out the weekend for the Gophers with a runner-up showing and a time of 3:15.95 while Minnesota added two more top-10 finishes in the men's high jump with Michael Burke coming in fourth at 2.12 meters (6-11.50 ft.) and Noah Cvetnic tying for eighth at 2.03 meters (6-08.00 ft.) and a third in Teddy Frid's fifth-place performance in the men's 60-meter dash finals at 8.13.Â
The Maroon & Gold added two more personal records in the men's mile with Jordan MacIntosh clocking a 4:06.50 and Hunter Lucas running 4:10.50.Â
