A LOOK AT THE JOHNNIES: Saint John's won 15 of the 18 events at its home invitational last Saturday (Feb. 12) in the Donald McNeely Spectrum. The Johnnies recorded 33 top-three marks/times in a field that included participants from Concordia-Moorhead, Minnesota-Morris, the Minnesota Running Club, Division II MSU-Moorhead and the St. Cloud State Run Club.

SJU, led by junior Kevin Arthur's (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) 6.94 seconds, claimed the three fastest times in the 60-meter dash. Seniors Ryan Miller (Maple Grove, Minn./Totino-Grace) and Jack Young (Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori) followed in second (6.98) and third (7.16), respectively.

Juniors Alexei Hensel (Buffalo, Minn.) and Will Mattock (Maryville, Mo.) followed in second (2:33.92) and third (2:40.59). The times for Allen and Hensel are the MIAC's top two in the event so far this season.
