<div id="attachment_45619" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 144px"><a href="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s21-n2336.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-45619 " alt="Erica Hett" src="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s21-n2336.jpg" width="134" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Erica Hett</p></div>
<div id="attachment_45620" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 144px"><a href="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s9-n2497.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-45620 " alt="Josh Owens" src="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s9-n2497.jpg" width="134" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Josh Owens</p></div>
<p>On the men’s side, senior <a href="https://gustavus.edu/athletics/mtr/roster/2013/2497">Josh Owens (Brooklyn Park, Minn.)</a> turned in a first place finish in the pole vault after going over the bar at 16-feet 1.75-inches.  The 2013 MIAC Champion in the pole vault bested his previous season-best mark of 15-feet 5.5-inches set at the Meet of the UnSaintly on May 3 in St. Paul.  Owens’s performance on Thursday will most certainly boost his national ranking heading into the NCAA Championships as the senior was ranked 18th heading into the weekend.</p>
<p>Gustavus’s next top finisher was senior <a href="https://gustavus.edu/athletics/wtr/roster/2013/2336">Erica Hett (Burnsville, Minn.)</a>.  Hett crossed the finish line in 11:30.33 to place second in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.  Hett’s top time of the season in the steeplechase was an 11:19.22 posted in a runner-up performance at the MIAC Championships last weekend.</p>
<p>Also on the women’s team, <a href="https://gustavus.edu/athletics/wtr/roster/2013/3078">Elizabeth Weiers (So., Le Center, Minn.)</a> continued her already stellar outdoor season with a sixth place finish in the hammer throw with a toss of 164-feet 10-inches.  Weiers, who placed second in the hammer last weekend with a throw of 153-feet 11-inches at the MIAC Championships, improved her season-best mark by more than two feet in La Crosse.  Her previous season-best of 162-feet five-inches recorded at the MSU Twilight Meet on April 30 broke April Felt’s 1999 school record throw of 160-feet two-inches.  With her toss on Thursday, she once again bested the school record &#8211; this time her own.  Heading into yesterday, Weiers was ranked 28th in the country with her performance in Mankato.</p>
<div id="attachment_45624" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 144px"><a href="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s21-n3078.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-45624 " alt="Elizabeth Weiers" src="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s21-n3078.jpg" width="134" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Elizabeth Weiers</p></div>
<div id="attachment_45625" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 144px"><a href="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s9-n2529.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-45625 " alt="Ryan Ness" src="http://athletics.blog.gustavus.edu/files/2013/05/s9-n2529.jpg" width="134" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ryan Ness</p></div>
<p>Rounding out the Gustavus competitors in La Crosse was senior <a href="https://gustavus.edu/athletics/mtr/roster/2013/2529">Ryan Ness (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.)</a>.  Ness placed sixth in the javelin with a throw of 169-feet six-inches.  Ness was the MIAC Champion in the event last weekend with a throw of 182-feet 10-inches.  His top mark of the season is 188-feet nine-inches set at Wartburg College on April 5.</p>
<p>The Gusties will now await their fate as the NCAA Championship field is selected later this weekend.  The 2013 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships will be held May 23-25 in La Crosse.</p>

<p><a href="https://gustavus.edu/athletics/wtr/roster/2013/2335">Beth Hauer (Sr., Little Falls, Minn.)</a> is the squad’s top competitor on the track, coming off a fourth place finish in the 5,000-meter run and a fifth place finish in the 10,000-meter run at the 2012 MIAC Championships.  She is currently ranked sixth in the 5,000 with a time of 18:04.27.  After a strong run last weekend at the Meet of the UnSaintly, <a href="https://gustavus.edu/athletics/wtr/roster/2013/2507">Amanda Iverson (Sr., Waconia, Minn.)</a> looks to score points in the 400-meter dash in which she ranks fifth with a time of 59.24.</p>
