SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Junior Brady Speicher and sophomore Josh Young won individual titles to lead the Minnesota State University Moorhead men's track and field team to a fifth-place finish at the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Outdoor Championships which concluded on Saturday at Howard Wood Field in Sioux Falls, S.D. The Dragon women finished in seventh place.

The Dragon men finished in fifth with 84 points, just 1.5 points behind fourth-place Sioux Falls. The Dragon women finished with 43 points.

The MSUM men finished with three conference champions: Speicher, Young and junior Cody Christ, who won the 10,000-meters with a record-setting time on Friday.

Speicher now has three individual NSIC titles after capturing the 1,500-meter title on Saturday. Speicher's winning time was 3:56.82. He won the 800 and mile indoors this past February.  Young took third in the 1,500 in 3:58.93, giving MSUM 16 points in that event.

Young won the 800-meter run in 1:56.69, winning the event by .38 seconds over Concordia's Abdirahman Mohamed.  Speicher finished in seventh in 2:01.59. It is Young's second NSIC title of his career, as he claimed the 1,000 meters during the indoor season.

A day after winning the 10,000 meters, Christ was second in the 5,000 in 15:00.23, which was a personal-best.

Junior Brandon Selbig was fourth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 9:42.08, marking his highest finish at a conference meet. A day after finishing second in the long jump, sophomore Brian Huber was fifth in the 100-meter dash in 10.67.
