Final Results

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Saint John's track and field finished second out of 11 teams at the 2021 MIAC Outdoor Championships on Saturday, May 15, at Hamline's Klas Field in St. Paul.

Six Johnnies earned a total of seven All-MIAC honors (top three individually, champion relay) on the day.

St. Thomas won its ninth consecutive and final outdoor title with 214.5 points, followed by SJU (135), Carleton (89), Gustavus Adolphus (88) and St. Olaf (81).

Senior Ryan Miller (Maple Grove, Minn./Totino-Grace) became the 11th Johnnie to win three conference championships in the same outdoor event with his third consecutive title in the 100-meter dash, in a season-best and MIAC-Championship record time of 10.53 seconds. The time is second-fastest in NCAA Division III this season.

He then finished second in the 200-meter dash (21.64), 0.20 of a second behind UST's Eric Douville, 50 minutes later. Sophomore Kevin Arthur (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) picked up his first All-MIAC honor in third (21.87) and junior Jack Young (Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori) took fifth (22.05). The last time three Johnnies scored team points in the event was 1999.

Sophomores Maguire Petersen (Hutchinson, Minn.) and Brett Hague (Brainerd, Minn.) placed second (54.66 meters) and third (53.04 meters), respectively, in the javelin. The duo was the first Johnnie pair to place in the MIAC's top three since 1998 (champion Eric Fenstad '98 and Phil Barry '99 in second). 

Junior Michael Wallace (Nassau, Bahamas/St. Anne's) claimed second in the triple jump (13.99 meters) and junior Shawn Schindler (Maple Grove, Minn.) finished second in the pole vault (4.72 meters). Schindler tied with St. Thomas' Cameron Schulz atop the leaderboard, but Schulz cleared 4.72 meters on his first attempt to Schindler's second. 

The 4x100-meter relay (Jack Young, Kevin Arthur, Brady Labine, Ryan Miller) finished second (41.43), 0.12 of a second behind Saint Mary's.

The Johnnies end the regular-season schedule with the two-day Wisconsin-La Crosse Qualifier on Wednesday-Thursday, May 19-20. Competition is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. both days.
