Consider the 2023 MIAC decathlon as an on-the-job mailman training for senior Wade Rhonemus. Rhonemus overcame several weather conditions, including a 2-hour lightning delay, and delivered a career-best performance on Day 2 on his way to a second-place finish in the multi-event competition.
Concordia senior Wade Rhonemus closed out the first day of the MIAC decathlon by recording a career-best time in the 400-meters and is in third place in the overall competition with five events to go.
It was quality over quantity in the outdoor opener for Concordia. Because of the holiday weekend, the Cobbers took a select group to the USD Early Bird Invite, and came away with a pair of school records and a Top 10 national mark.
Concordia seniors Hayden Gagnon (South Haven, Minn.) and Cal Wright (Mora, Minn.) were both named to the USTFCCCA North All-Region Indoor Track & Field Team for finishing in the Top 5 in an event in the region for the indoor season.
