WINONA, Minn. – Minnesota State won its seventh straight NSIC Outdoor Track & Field Championships behind an impressive performance at Paul Giel Field in Winona, Minnesota. The Mavericks, which have won nine of the last ten titles, scored 191 points to finish 88.5 points ahead of second place UMary.   In all, four new records were set by men’s teams at this year’s championship. 

Cold temperatures and rain forced the NSIC Outdoor Track & Field Championship run the 10,000m runs on Friday with all of Friday's prelims being cancelled and all of Saturday's events run as finals.

Four records fell at the 2018 championships as Sydne Davis of Minnesota State ran 51.91 in the 400m-hurdles to break the 2017 record of 53.58 held by Augustana’s Josh Barrows.   Sioux Falls’ Steven Brown ran 14:36.96 in the 5000m to eclipse the 2015 mark of 14:43.42 ran by MSU Moorhead’s Cody Christ. Brian Huber of MSU Moorhead crushed the long jump record as he soared 7.91m (25-11.5) to shatter the old mark from 2016 of 7.56 leaped by St. Cloud State’s Keyshawn Davis.  Also, on day one, the University of Mary’s Derek Myers set the NSIC record in the 10,000 meter run with an NCAA provisional time of 32:20.75.
