NORTHFIELD, Minn. -- Junior Charlie Gamble (San Diego, Calif./La Jolla) was named the MIAC Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week after his record-setting performance in the 3000 meter race at the St. Olaf Triangular.
He established a new Tostrud Center record for the 3K race on Saturday. Gamble's jaw-dropping 8:25.44 bested Hamline's Brandon Gleason as both athletes ran faster than the existing record of 8:28, which was set last year. This is the fastest 3000m run by a MIAC athlete since 1985 and ranks Gamble as No. 2 on Carleton's all-time list to the 8:12 run by Dale Kramer in the late 1970's.
