The Gusties also tallied a pair of top five place finishes in the relays.  In the 4×200-meter relay, Phillip Butler (Sr., St. Paul, Minn.), Jeffrey Dubose (Sr., St. Paul, Minn.), Sean O’Connell (Fr., St. Peter, Minn.), and Riegel took fourth with a time of 1:31.88.  Jordan Lovestrand, Ed ReMine (Fr., Mantorville, Minn.), Sam ReMine (Fr., Mantorville, Minn.), and Cameron Clause (Sr., Mankato, Minn.) teamed up in the 4×400-meter relay to place fourth in 3:26.14.
