NAC: Joe takes down 400H record

5/3  At Wisconsin Lutheran.  Cold, wind and rain -- what else is new? Sporadic light rain, persistent winds and temperatures in the low 40s made it tough on everyone. Unless your name is Joe. He ran his preliminary 400H in 56.30, knocking a few tenths off his previous record and placing himself into the finals with the fastest qualifying time. Mike also made the final, despite his sore hamstring and conservative approach to the race (70.19). Nate had a strong finish and posted 76.25. Logan had a heel first landing and skidded down and out of his lane off hurdle 2. Brad competed in is first decathlon. Day 1 consisted of: 100 (13.50), LJ (16-11.25), SP (32-4.75), HJ (4-11), 400 (60.14). He's in 6th going into Day 2.

Brad moved all the way into 2nd in the decathlon: 110H (18.95), DT (110-3), PV (10-4), JT (130-11), 1500 (5:11+). Joe won a full set of medals -- gold, silver and bronze for 4x4, 4x1 and 110H (PR 15.51 #2 all time). He also added a 4th in 400H (56.74).
