The team took sixth in last year's championships with 35 points. UW-La Crosse took home the gold while Whitewater came in runner-up. This year's team has taken the top spot in three events while placing third at the Whitewater Invite. Two additional meets did not keep team scores. On the track, the Blugolds have many good times.

Frankie Adams (So.-Burnsville, MN) has a 6.58 time in the 55-meter dash for third in the WIAC. Nick Aliota (Sr.-Brookfield/Central) is sixth in the 55-meter hurdles with a 7.91 time. In the 800-meter run, Wes Fischer (So.-Rosemount, MN) clocked in at 1:55.52 for fifth. Fischer took third in the event last year while Aliota was seventh in the 55-meter hurdles. The field side of the competition has fared well, too. Kirk Schmidt (Fr.-Athens) leapt 14.11 meters (46? 3 ?") for second in the triple jump. Joe Felber (So.-Manitowoc/Lincoln) also has a distance of 13.78 meters (45? 2 ?") in the event for sixth.
