Three Cards in Hamline Elite Meet

Three Alexandria track and field athletes will be competing in the prestigious Hamline Elite Meet at Hamline University in St. Paul today.

Five Cardinal athletes - Rosey Erickson, Jamie Piepenburg, Dan Gorghuber, Ben Vickstrom and Bob Guetter - all qualified for the meet, but just three will attend.

Erickson will compete in the 100 and 200-meter dashes, while Piepenburg will compete in the 3,200-meter run and Dan Gorghuber will compete in the 400-meter run.

Vickstrom qualified in the 100 and 200-meter dashes, but is ill and will not attend, and Guetter qualified in the shot put, but re-injured his foot and will not be able to compete.

The Elite Meet participants are selected on 2010 qualifying times and marks, with just the top competitors receiving an invitation.
