Track & Field Wraps Up at MIAC Multi Events

NORTHFIELD, Minn. – A trio of Gusties completed competition at the MIAC Multi Event Championships on Friday at Carleton College. Connor McCormick took sixth place in the decathlon with 5795 points, while in the heptathlon, Maddox Lee took eighth with 3399 points and Grace Banse finished 17th with 2824 points. 

“We’re proud to celebrate an outstanding showing from our multis at this week’s competition, highlighted by several personal bests,” said Assistant Coach Nathan Harder. “Maddox recorded six personal records, Grace achieved two, and Connor added two of his own — all of them improving on their overall marks. These performances are a testament to their hard work and commitment.

“Multis are a unique challenge in track and field, made even more demanding by the rare opportunity to compete — usually only once or twice per year. The rest of the season is spent preparing, both mentally and physically, for these brief moments to shine. Over two chilly spring days, our athletes demonstrated remarkable determination, grit, and sportsmanship. The camaraderie across the MIAC and the drive of our own team make it a true privilege to coach this event. I’m especially grateful to work alongside the incredible Lexi LeFever, Aaron Lund, and Troy Banse as we support these athletes in reaching their goals.” 

Gustavus has its final meet before the MIAC Championships as it competes at the St. Olaf Ole Open on Saturday.
