MANKATO, Minn. – Mike Cullen was the winner in the shot put at the NSIC Indoor Track and Field Championships on the campus of Minnesota State University. Cullen reset his previous school record by over a foot and a half with a mark of 55'10.50.

Cullen, a senior from Green Bay, Wisconsin wrapped up his last indoor season with a throw that could qualify him for the NCAA DII Championships.

The men's team placed seventh with 44 points and was one point away from tying for fifth place with Minnesota-Duluth and St. Cloud State. The women finished 11th with 15 total points. 

The top point-getter for the team with 13 was Colin Goligoski who was the conference champ in the heptathlon a week ago and added three more points today with his pole vault of 14'11.

Josh Johanson was a big contributer in the high jump with his third place finish.

Goligoski, Cullen, and Johanson were awarded with All-Conference honors.

Antony Odera's versatility proved valuable. He racked up nine points which he accumulated from the heptathlon, long jump, and triple jump.

Freshman Aaron Joppru hit the same 4'11 mark as Goligoski to grab two points in the pole vault.

On the women's side, Gloria Williams finished a record-setting meet with six total points for her team. She reset her school record in the 60m on Thursday, and finished sixth in the finals on Friday. She also broke her school record in the 200m with a time of 25.58.  

In the mile run, Maggie Marcus improved on her qualifying time to move up from 11^th position to seventh. She grabbed two points for her team.

Senior pole vaulter Esther Jandrich placed fifth as she tied her previously set school record.         

The outdoor track and field season gets underway on April 4^th.
