Junior speedster Bobby Clark (Jr., Seeley Lake, Mont./Seeley-Swan HS) continues to give Concordia a legitimate point-winner in several events. Clark finished third in the 400-meter hurdles in a time of 57.17 His 400-meter hurdle time is the eighth best mark in the conference this spring.

Jeremy Pris (Sr., Somers, Mont./Flathead HS) finished just behind Clark in the 400-meter hurdles. His time of 57.24 was good for fourth place and puts him right behind Clark on the conference honor roll.

Ben Nylander (Lisbon, N.Dak./Lisbon HS) ran a season-best time of 9:47.43 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Nylander finished second in the event and currently sits in fourth place among conference runners. Brian Stotts (Sr., Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS) helped Concordia score valuable team points as he finished runner-up in the 5,000 meters. His time of 15:43.30 betters his season best time by over eight seconds.

Garrick Larson's team placed well in both relays with the 4x400-meter relay team of Justin Hendricks (Sr., Luverne, Minn./Luverne HS), Jordan Talge (So., Moorhead, Minn./Moorhead HS), Nick Steffens (Sr. Aitkin, Minn./Aitkin HS) and Matt Handwerk (Fr., Great Falls, Mont./Great Falls HS) finishing in fourth place.

The highlight in the field events for the Cobbers was Dennis Kline's (So., Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata HS) steadily improving pace in the pole vault. Kline cleared the bar at 13-9, which is a season best and the third highest mark in the MIAC this season.
