Track and field: Men finish seventh, women eighth at conference

Several Bulldogs performed well for Drake Track and Field at the 2016 MVC Indoor Championship this past weekend.

“It’s always one of those meets where you can get there and be ranked 20th on a preseason poll and come out and score in conference. It’s a wild card,” junior Reed Fischer said. “All and all we had some good points from a lot of different people, which is cool to see.”

Distance runners had the most successful weekend for Drake overall.

Fischer finished second in the 5000-meter in 14:28.88 during the first day of competition. He placed third in the 3000-meter in 8:17.
