Indoor Track and Field DIVISION II MEN’S Highlights Adams State goes extra miles in indoor track: The Adams State men went the distance March 13 in winning the Grizzlies’ first NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships team title. Adams State dominated the 1,000- and 5,000-meter runs to finish with 89 points at the Albuquerque Convention Center, ending the four-year reign of St. Augustine’s. The Falcons finished second with 72 points, followed by Abilene Christian with 53. Adams State has been close to winning an NCAA indoor title several times after twice winning NAIA championships. But the men’s side has been dominated by St. Augustine’s and Abilene Christian, as the two schools have combined to win the past 23 Division II championships. “It’s just unbelievably awesome,” Grizzlies coach Damon Martin said. “It’s history. To be able to crack those guys, we’ve tried and been second a lot. To be able to do this was just tremendous. For them, the coaching staff, for the alumni that came out to support us. I think hosting it and being able to do it here, it’s as close to home as we’re going to get.” Adams State owned the mile run, with Aaron Braun winning in 4:07.44 to lead a Grizzlies’ sweep of the top five spots for 33 points. “We knew this was a big event for us if we were going to hold off St. Aug’s,” Martin said. Martin praised Braun as a senior who was able to lead his team to victory. He “won the mile and anchored the distance medley relay, then ran a great, great 5K,” Martin said. “And he ran three different mile races in the weekend and came back and ran the 5K. He’s one of the most exceptional, phenomenal leaders that we ever had. He’s the heart and soul of the team,” It was much the same in the 5,000-meter run as the Grizzlies earned 32 points, with senior Brian Medigovich taking the tape for his individual championship in 14:28.46. “I’ve been wondering through the years if I was going to get one or not,” he said. “It’s great to go out in my last race and get an individual national championship. So it’s been a great meet. It’s been perfect. I couldn’t have planned it any better.” 2010 TEAM STANDINGS Northwest Mo. St. ...................................................8 44.
