NORTHFIELD, Minn. (11/02/19)---Senior Eric Wicklund capped his conference career by earning MIAC All-Conference Honorable Mention honors at the MIAC Championship Meet held at Carleton College.
Wicklund finished 24th in the final individual standings with a time of 26:12. It marks the second time in the past three seasons that Wicklund has captured All-Conference Honorable Mention honors. He placed 19th at the conference meet as a sophomore in 2017.
Wicklund's Top 25 finish helped Concordia finish in eighth place in the final team standings. The Cobbers finished with 206 place points with all five of the team's scoring runners finishing in the Top 55 of the scoring runners at the meet.
