Jonathan Webb won the 400 meters at 46.87 breaking his own personal record and putting himself at eighth all time in Minnesota history. Jackson Wellenstein finished third at 46.91 and Psicihulis was fifth at 47.48.

"I'm just having fun out there to help me get that time," Webb said. "So to get those times it's awesome."

Walker, Tollefson, Zach Nelson, Matthew Baker finished second in the 4x100 meter at a time of 40.95. Jonathan Tharaldsen went for second in the discuss throw at a throw of 168 feet, 7 inches. He also had a career best in the shot put at 59 feet, 9.5 inches for fourth. Kieran McKeag had a throw of 53 feet, 5 inches to finish seventh. 

The Gophers 4x400 meter relay team of LaRance, Ben Psicihulis, Clayton Johnson and Josh Tracy finished third with a run of 3:11.41. 

Jon Nerdal came in third for Minnesota in the hammer throw at 200 feet, 4 inches, Connor Rousemiller went for fifth at 183 feet, 9 inches. Sammie Houston had a jump of 48 feet, 11.75 inches in the triple jump to finish second.

"We got guys that are continuing to improve and you want them to improve as fast as they can, but it's been a hard spring in Minnesota to get things going," head coach Steve Plasencia said. "We're hoping to get some of the people who haven't traveled a lot will get a chance this week to get out and get things going."
