Meet Results

After a strong finish last week at the season-opening Falcon Invitational in River Falls, the Yellowjacket men's cross country team returned to the course looking to improve on the first week at the St. Olaf Invitational. The meet, one of the largest in the region, consisted of 20 teams from both NCAA Division II and Division III.

"It's a big meet with a lot of really strong teams competing. And with strong teams you get strong individuals, so I like this one to kind of show us where we stand," Yellowjacket Head Coach Glen Drexler said. "I think we got a pretty good idea where we are, and now we know that we have some work to do heading into our next race."

The hosts from St. Olaf College won the men's event, placing first with 59 points, just ahead of second place UW-Eau Claire who had 73 points. The Yellowjackets finished with 277 points, good enough for 10th place in the meet.

Individual champion honors went to Jake Campbell of St. Olaf, who won with a time of 25:20.2, better the runner up by just over three seconds. The top finisher for the Yellowjackets wasn't far off the pace. Charles Corbett (Park Falls, Wis./Chequamegon), who won the season-opening meet in River Falls last week, completed Saturday's eight-kilometer course with a time of 25:32.2, which was good enough for fifth place.

"Charles was right threre throughout the race. I thought he ran a really strong race today and with a couple of tweaks could have won this one, too," Drexler said. "It has been a lot of fun to watch Charles develop and improve as a runner since he got here as a freshman. I think he is in a great place and is going to have a tremendous year if he keeps working the right way."

Next across the line for the Yellowjackets was Jackson Lindquist (Thomson, Minn./Esko), who also cracked the top 20. Lindquist crossed the line with a time of 26:07.4, which placed him 16th. Jordan Koski (Park Falls, Wis./Chequamegon) was third among Yellowjackets with a time of 27:12.6.

"I'm happy with the results today," Drexler said. "Everyone was pretty much where I expected them to be. This is a tougher course than what we were on last week. There are more hills and it's a more difficult terrain. But I like what I see. We're heading in the right direction."

Next up for the Yellowjackets is the Blugold Invitational, hosted by UW-Eau Claire in Colfax, Wisconsin. Races begin Friday, October 2 at 4:00 p.m.
