Top teams ready to tackle conference meets

By Adam Schneider of DyeStat

This was a good weekend for teams to try to determine conference meet entries and qualify for the NCAA Division 1 Indoor championships. USC visited the Arkansas Qualifier and both the Trojans and Razorbacks had some good performances.

The Alex Wilson Invitational had a tremendous battle in the distance medley relay as Stanford fifth-year senior All-American Sean McGorty made his debut this season in the 1,200-meter leg. He and junior Grant Fisher led the Cardinal to a victory over Oregon, 9:26.91 to 9:27.17. Wisconsin was close behind in 9:27.72.

South Dakota sophomore Chris Nilsen cleared 19 feet for the first time by clearing 19-0.25 (5.80m) to equal fifth all-time among collegians at the Nebraska Tune-Up. Missouri freshman Ja’Mari Ward jumped 26-1.75 (7.97m) at the Missouri Collegiate Challenge.
