Just did a Google news sweep on them:

Alex Belquist (ND): competing in multiple sports but managed to high jump 6'4

Michael Brower (NE): Set a new conference record in the long jump (22'8) and jumped 45' in the triple jump.

Nick Compton (MN): tossing the shot around 49'.

Zach Harrington (ND): competing in discus.

Kole Heckendorf (WI): was named to the 11-member 2003 Wisconsin Football Foundation Scholar Athlete team.

Tyler Jangula (ND): splitting his time between baseball and track (45'shot put).

Brian Jark (SD): qualified for state in sprints and long jump.

Joe Lardnois (WI): no recent stories but he won the long jump and high jump at his indoor track conference championship.

Mike Maresh (MN): yeah, he's a great wrestler but he also runs sprint relays too (the only story I found was for his 4x100 relay team winning)

Ryan Parsons (MN): running 300m hurdles in 40.6 (early in the season).

Brian Rabb (FL): man, he's a mystery. Can never find any news on him.

Tyler Roehl (ND): having an excellent baseball season

Nick Schommer (WI): no google news

James Septak (NE): throwing shot and discus, set a meet and school record in discus (no distance given)

Shamen Washington (FL): 23'8 long jump

James Wurzbacher (ND): throwing both shot (50'+) and discus (173'- holy cow).

Minot Daily reports state track qualifiers and Alex Belquist has qualified in 3 jumping events. 21'3" in Long Jump, 43'8" in Triple Jump and 6"4" in high jump. I think he is also playing baseball.

Zach Harrington in 2 throwing events. 43'11" in Discuss and 48'2" in Shot.

I'll assume you meant 143 in discus.

compton threw 152 in the disc and is on the 4X200 team for rosemount

[BisonWarrior]

Sorry, yes I meant 143 but now that I looked at the paper again I looked at the wrong side of the name...Harrington threw 140'4"

I'm assuming Allen Burrell's shoulder is still hurting him?

"In the backfield the Yellow Jackets return leading rusher Clayton Bryan, who rushed for over 700 yards from the halfback position last season. Also in the mix are senior Chris Delay, red shirt freshman Tim Koob, and Jon Harms, who transferred from North Dakota State this semester. Fullbacks are senior James Verenski, sophomore Sam Hilton, and newcomer Nic Gilbert.

Isn't Washington only 5'4", and he finished 3rd in the high jump! Do you know what the height was Tony.

As you may have noticed, I don't proofread :)

I meant to write long jump. Still pretty impressive bounce... can't remember the distance, I think is was around 23'.
