Overall, the womens performances on Friday were helpful in establishing their MIAC rankings.
Lindsey Boetcher 06 is ranked sixth in the 5000 meter run and Vicky Peterson 08 and Stacy Griffin 07 are sixth and eighth, respectively, in the shot put.
Lorna Wilson has the second best distance in the weight throw while Griffin has the fifth. Wilson threw 45 feet 11 1/4 inches on Feb. 12 in the St. Olaf Border Battle meet.
Coming off last seasons sixth place finish at the MIAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, the women appear primed for a strong performance. Coach Chris Daymont is back after a sabbatical and the team has progressed steadily over the course of the indoor season.
The women are heading off to this years incarnation of the tournament, which is hosted by Concordia, this weekend. They will join the men at the three-day meet in Moorhead, Minn. The first gun goes off at 5:30 p.m. Friday.
