Men's Track's Rosholt hits NCAA provisional mark

April 27, 2005
Tommie junior Peter Rosholt hit the NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the hammer throw and sophomore Derek Marks had another strong toss as he won the discus at Wednesday's Macalester Twilight men's track and field meet.

Rosholt's third-place hammer throw of 169-5 is the 21st best thus far this season in Division III. Marks' throw of 162-1 is just three inches off his NCAA provisional mark he achieved last weekend.

P.J. Theisen won the triple jump in 42-5; Peter Rosholt was third in the hammer in 169-5; Jarrod Gray won the high jump (6-1) and was sixth in the 200 (23.11); Brad Hanson and Nate Page shared eighth in the pole vault (13-4); Mark O'Connell was fifth in the shot put (43-9); Carson Glad was second in the 100 meters (11.13); Lewis Hildebrand (50.55) and Cory Fusco (50.60) placed 5-6 in the 400 meters; Chris Mattke (56.74) and Scott Busacker (58.04) took third and seventh in the 400 hurdles (56.74); Mattke (16.59) and Brian Welle (16.92) took fourth and seventh in the 100 hurdles; and Dan Everson (11.59) and Justin Nwadiashi (11.60) took 8-9 in the 100 meters.

Most of the Tommie team will compete Saturday at St. John's. Three athletes will compete in this weekend's Drake Relays in Des Moines -- Carson Glad will race in a Special 200 again some Olypmic-caliber and Division I sprinters; Theisen wil run the 400 hurdles; and Dave Diercks will throw the javelin.
