Complete Meet of the UnSaintly results
Martin Mudry (Jr., University Heights, Ohio / University School) and
Evan Mitchell (Sr., Minneapolis, Minn. / South) won events and
Wade Eckstrom (So., La Crescent, Minn.) added a second-place finish as Macalester’s final tune-up for the conference championships was a good one Sunday afternoon at Hamline’s Meet of the UnSaintly.
The Scots went up against athletes from Hamline, Gustavus, Augsburg, St. John’s, Concordia-St. Paul and the U of Minnesota.
Mudry placed first in the 5000-meter run (15:39.30) and Mitchell added another javelin first-place finish to his resume (192-5 / 58.64m), while Eckstrom placed second to a non-collegiate runner in the 1500 meters (4:01.88).
