Final Results

NORTHFIELD, Minn. – Saint John's track and field finished third out of 11 teams at the 2026 MIAC Indoor Championships on Saturday, Feb. 28, at Carleton.

Bethel won its fourth-straight MIAC indoor title with 167 points, followed by St. Olaf (145), SJU (108) and Gustavus Adolphus (74).

Fresh off his program- and meet-record time to win the MIAC title in last night's mile run, junior Cole Stencel (Mapleton, Minn./Maple River) won his second event of the meet with another SJU-record time in the 1,000 meters. His time of 2:27.44 broke the previous record of 2:27.71 set by Thomas Feichtinger '16 in 2016.

Senior Nick St. Peter (Maple Grove, Minn.) was sixth with a time of 2:30.89. 

Junior Kieran Murnan (Lakeville, Minn./Holy Angels) earned his first individual All-MIAC distinction with a second-place time of 22.39 seconds in the 200-meter dash, followed by junior Cooper Smith (Alvarado, Minn./East Grand Forks) in seventh (22.61).

Sophomore Grady Minnerath (Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori) collected his first All-MIAC honor with a second-place finish in the shot put. His first toss of 15.26 held for second place behind a championship-record mark of 18.54 meters out of the hands of Concordia's Cooper Folkestad.

Senior Owen Montreuil (Jordan, Minn.) claimed fourth in the 600 meters with a program-record time of 1:21.52, which was 0:00.36 faster than his second-place time a year ago and 0:00.25 from third place and All-MIAC honors. He surpassed SJU's record of 1:21.87 set by Michael Marschel '04 in 2004 – a record that he missed by 0:00.01 last year.

A pair of freshmen scored for the Johnnies in the pole vault. Austin Mohr (Alexandria, Minn.) took fourth (4.48 meters) and Alex Chirhart (St. Cloud, Minn./Rocori) behind him in fifth (4.38 meters). 

Another freshman, Trae Headlee (Billings, Mont./Skyview), matched his prelim time of 8.00 seconds to finish seventh in the 55-meter hurdles. 

Junior Kieran Murnan (Lakeville, Minn./Holy Angels) led a trio of Johnnies in the 55-meter dash with a fifth-place time of 6.58 seconds. His prelim time of 6.50 seconds recorded yesterday would have been good for third in the final. Senior Brennan Blake (Minneapolis, Minn./Totino-Grace) and freshman Aiden Jones (Pierz, Minn.) followed in seventh (6.63) and eighth (6.88), respectively.

The Johnnies' 4x400-meter relay (Wyatt Witschen, Montreuil, Hunter Mohr, Smith) ended the meet with a fourth-place finish in 3:23.01.

The Johnnies travel south for Wartburg's Last-Chance Meet next Saturday, March 7, in Waverly, Iowa.
