MSU Moorhead Athletics

Gary Nordlund lettered in indoor and outdoor track, and cross country.  The Clearbrook, Minn., native was known for his remarkable long distance career with the Dragons.  Nordlund collected All-American honors for his surprising second place finish in the 10,000 meters at the 1977 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships that helped MSU climb to 10th on the final team standings.  He currently owns the fifth-best mark in the 10,000 meters with a time of 30:31.0.
