May 4—HASTINGS, Neb. — Dakota Wesleyan University had a successful Great Plains Athletic Conference outdoor championship meet over the weekend.
In total, the Tigers had six athletes put together all-conference performances in seven events, led by thrower Abby Magnuson's two all-conference marks in the women's shot put and discus.
The men had teammates Max Raab and Cole Holden both garner all-conference status in the men's javelin, Barrett Nielsen in the 400-meter hurdles, A'johntez Moore in the triple jump and Gage Hohn in the decathlon. The top eight place-winners in each event and top three relays are considered all-GPAC finishers.
Magnuson, a graduate student out of Buxton, North Dakota, was all-conference in both shot put and discus for the third consecutive season. Finishing fifth in both events, Magnuson achieved a mark of 13.36 meters (43 feet, 10 inches) in the shot put and 41.46 meters (136-0) in the discus. Doane's Madison Sutton won both events, claiming the shot put with 14.04 meters (46-0.75) and the discus at 48.86 meters (160-3).
Competing in the men's javelin throw, Raab, a junior out of Yankton, clipped fellow Tigers junior and Watertown product Holden by an inch to take fourth place with a throw of 51.24 meters (168-1). Holden settled for fifth at 51.21 meters (168-0) in the event won by Concordia's (Neb.) Emry Gutz at 57.52 meters (188-8).
Moore's best run in the triple jump saw him finish with a best leap of 14.19 meters (46-6.75). The Moorhead, N.D. product secured a sixth-place result as Midland's (Neb.) Robert Atwater was the triple jump champion at 15.04 meters (49-4.25).
Nielsen, a native of Kennard, Nebraska, competed in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing in eighth place in a time of 56.11 seconds while Doane's Zach Turner set the GPAC record in the event, winning in a time of 49.99 seconds.
