Sounds like the men put in some solid performances this past weekend at Iowa State and at Air Force:
On Friday, the Shockers men's distance medley team earned first place at the Iowa State Classic. The quartet of Jake Wike, Ryan Hocker, Kelvin Busienei, and Tomas Cotter bested their closest competition by nearly nine seconds to capture victory.
Wike returned on Saturday to claim second place in the men's mile. The senior ran a new personal record with a time of 4:08.45, less than half a second behind the winner.
Cotter (8:14.46) posted the new time to beat for the Valley in the 3,000m run this season. The reigning MVC indoor 3,000m champion also set a new personal best in the event, topping his previous mark by over ten seconds.
At Air Force Chris Dubree won the men's shot put with a 56-3 throw. Dubree ranks third in the MVC in this event.
In the men's high jump, freshmen Zach Budda, Garrett Lynch, and Kerry Graber set personal bests and claimed the top three spots on the MVC performance list. Budda placed third with a 6-10 ¼ jump. Graber and Lynch both cleared the bar at 6-9 to place sixth and seventh respectively at the Air Force Team Challenge. Shocks look like they are building some serious depth, and young depth at that, in the high jump.
Not sure if the men's team is a deep as the Shocker women. Hopefully, @goshox74 will stop by for a preview of the MVC Indoor Championships to be held Feb 23-24 at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls.
