ST. PAUL, Minn. - It was a long-awaited day for the Concordia University track & field team who competed in a home meet for the first time in history. At the Holst Invite on Wednesday, the Golden Bears hosted a successful meet at SeaFoam Stadium, welcoming student-athletes from more than a dozen programs. Concordia athletes won seven events to become recordholders at the facility. COMPLETE RESULTS
Nate Thienes was the top finisher in the first event to go final at Concordia's inaugural meet. Throwing the javelin, Thienes marked a career high throw of 162 feet, four inches to take the prize. Jake Womeldorf was the first Golden Bear to run an event on the new track surface, competing in the 3,000m steeplechase (pictured). Womeldorf took fourth place in the event.
Other first place finishes on the men's team came from Diahn Zeon in the long jump, leaping to a mark of 22 feet, 11.75 inches. Zeon was also a member of the top-finishing 4x100m relay team who marked a time of 42.08 seconds. Domonique Gilmer ran a new personal best time to take first place in the 400m dash. He shed more than a half of a second off of his previous best time and finished with a mark of 48.15, mere tenths away from an NCAA provisional mark.
