Until the year 1973, there was no "D1, D2, and D3" national cross country championship races, but rather a college and a university division. In 1971 and 1972, he won the college division national championship as an individual, and in 1971 he took 3rd individual in the university division in a stacked race that included the likes of Steve Prefontaine (one of the most famous U.S. distance runners of all time), Gary Bjorkland, and Dave Wottle (future gold medalist in the 800 meters at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games).

He also won individual titles in the 1971 and 1972 NCC cross country championships, one of which NDSU won in 1971 (they also took second at nationals in the college division in 1971 and first in the college division in 1972). He went on to become a force in the 3-mile and 6-mile (precursors to the 5k and 10k) races, being D-II All-Americans in both. He later tried marathons, which he had trouble finishing, but was routinely WAY ahead of his competitors before having to drop out. Even more, for a short time he had the American record in the 20k at 59:58.

Later that same month, she ran 2:01.17 (almost 4 seconds faster) at the USA Track & Field Championships in Eugene. It's documented on gobison.com as an NDSU record (don't ask me how because technically she had finished her NDSU career).
Laura Hermanson took 2nd in the 800 at the national meet in.....2009, I think.

Moton is out in the JAVELIN.
No where near her PR in the prelims.
She will be an Honorable Mention All-American in the event as she finished 20th of 23 entered.
End of a great 1st year for her.
Good Lord...……….
University of Florida goes sub :38 in 4 X 100 Meter Relay...…(37.97)
That's just a whisper under 9.50 per 100 meter leg!!
Anyone else keeping tabs on the discus? (Otterdahl)
Payton goes 205' 0" on his 3rd throw to take the lead
SHOCKER ALERT:
The number 1 thrower in the nation coming in to the meet (Greg Thompson from Maryland) failed to qualify for the finals!
That opens the door for Payton.
Big throw for Payton! Go Bison, redemption time!
