This includes the four first-place finishes that occurred in the Blugold Open, the Warren Bowlus Open, the Border Battle and the Blue Devil Open. Eau Claire looks to do well in the 200-meter dash, an event Nick Aliota (Jr.-Brookfield/Central) took third in last year in 22.63. This year he holds the sixth best WIAC time at 22.73. Chris Kupfer (Fr.-Germantown) is right on his tail with the seventh best time of 22.77 in the conference while Bryan Tschudy (Fr.-New Richmond) holds the ninth best time with 22.88.

Another Blugold who excelled in last year's championships is Adam Koger (Jr.-Eau Claire/Memorial). He was the 400-meter runner-up in 49.70. This year's time of 50.70 is good for 10th in the WIAC. Matt Crosby (Fr.-Glenwood City) brings competition to the meet in the form of sixth-best WIAC 55-meter hurdles finish. His mark is 7.91. Aliota has a 7.96 race on the year for eight best in the 55-meter hurdle event. The 4x200-meter relay team accomplished a 1:30.67 effort for the second-best time out of all WIAC teams. The 4x400-meter relay team meanwhile has the fourth best time. It is 3:22.36. The Blugolds look for more victories in the field, as well.
