A LOOK AT THE COBBERS: Concordia made an unexpected road trip to Grand Forks, N.D., last Saturday to compete at Division North Dakota's Tune-Up. The Cobbers were initially set to host a home meet, but the dual with Division II MSU-Moorhead was canceled during the week and CC took the opportunity to head north to compete against Division I opponents. CC finished third in the four-team meet, which included MSU-Moorhead, UND and Division I North Dakota State.

Senior Munir Isahak won the mile with a time of 4:24.02, which was four seconds faster than the runner-up and a season-best by over 4.0 seconds. The time is also the sixth-fastest in the MIAC.

Junior Jesse Middendorf finished second in the 800 meters with a time of 1:54.09, which is the fastest in the MIAC and 16th in Division III. He also holds the fastest time in the 600 meters (1:23.07).

Junior Cal Wright put up a season-best time of 49.98 seconds in the 400-meter sprint, which is good for second-fastest time in the MIAC. He is also sixth 200-meter dash (23.19).

Senior Jacob Steiner currently ranks third in the conference in the shot put (15.37 meters) and fourth in the weight throw (15.59 meters). The shot-put mark is currently 13th nationally.
