NORTHFIELD, Minn. — The Saint Mary's University of Minnesota track and field teams made their most of their final "tune-up" in preparation for next weekend's Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Indoor Championships, collecting four first-place efforts—not to mention one school record—at the St. Olaf Ole Qualifier Friday evening.
 
For the second week in a row, Ross Kinderman (Onalaska, Wis.) broke the school's 60-meter hurdle record, winning the event Friday with a time of 8.58. The freshman also placed sixth in the triple jump with a leap of 12.84 meters.
 
Kinderman wasn't the only Cardinal atop the podium Friday, as Tyler Kircher (Cashton, Wis.) and Maya Booker (St. Paul, Minn.) won the men's (15.42 meters) and women's (14.78 meters) weight throw events, respectively, and Maria Missurelli () narrowly missed breaking her own school mark in the pole vault, winning with a leap of 3.21 meters.
 
Other men's highlights included Jacob Hagen Erickson (Austin, Minn.) placing sixth in the long jump (6.34 meters), Bryan Ortman (Chicago, Ill.) finishing seventh in the triple jump (12.57 meters), and Gordy Paulman (DeForest, Wis.) clearing 3.70 meters to earn ninth in the pole vault.
 
Laura Schommer (Hutchinson, Minn.) collected a pair of top 10 finishes for the Cardinal women, earning fifth-place showings in the 400 (1:00.86) and pole vault (2.76 meters).
 
The Cardinals are back in action on Friday and Saturday, traveling to Moorhead, Minn., to take part in the two-day MIAC Indoor Championships, hosted by Concordia.
