Joe Thomas takes second in NCAA high jump

March 11, 2005
St. Thomas senior Joe Thomas took second in Friday's high jump in 6-9 3/4 to score eight points. It was the second NCAA runner-up finish and fourth All-American honor for the St. Thomas Academy graduate, who transferred from Purdue in 2003.

Central (Iowa) College senior Cale VanGenderen was first in 6-11.

That scoring let UST take 11th place after one day with eight team points.

The St. Thomas 4x400 relay team of Carson Glad, P.J. Theisen, Cassidy Glad and Jason Schwietz had the fastest time in the prelims of 3:18:17 and will be in heat two of Saturday's finals. Cory Fusco missed the finals in the 800 after running 1:56.24 in the prelims, and Carson Glad missed the finals in the 400 meters after running 49.69 in the prelims. Theisen also will compete in Saturday's triple jump.
