12/31/09 - Alexa Hornecker to Run Cross Country
Minot native Alexa Hornecker has committed to run cross country in 2010 for Minot State University. Beavers head coach Stu Melby announced the signing of Hornecker this week.
Hornecker has been an instrumental member for the Majettes cross country and track teams throughout her high school career as evident by her senior harrier season where she had her best outing at state with her 24th place finish and the number 3 runner for MHS.
“Alexa sets a goal and goes after it as she did at state”, coach Melby said, “she wanted to finish her high school cross country career on a very high note. She did that by running over a minute faster and finished higher than she did at WDA just two weeks earlier. She will be a great asset to our women’s distance crew next year.”
Hornecker follows the family tradition of being Beavers – her father, Brian, played baseball and her brother Ryne is currently a Beaver baseball player. She plans on majoring in elementary education.

- Minot Daily News
VERMILLION, S.D. - Both the Minot State University men's and women's
cross country teams trimmed time off their respective season bests
at the The Graphic Edge Cross Country Invitational hosted by University
of South Dakota and Mount Marty here Saturday.
Both teams finished in 11th place, but both had solid days running.
"We weren't quite sure compeition wise, how things would go," MSU
head coach Stu Melby said. "The women had their best total time
and the best average team time of the season and the men were the
same way. We had a couple of the girls run their season best and
a couple more close to it and the men had several run better than
they had all season."
The Beavers best overall finish was by freshman Brandon Velasquez
for the men. He finished the course in 26 minutes, 29.89 seconds
to place eighth overall in a very competitive meet.
"If you look at the nationals from the teams from our conference
here, he would have been the first individual qualifier," Melby
said. "It is good to see how we stack up against the other schools
in the conference."
Melby was especially pleased with the 1-5 gap between runners for
the women's team.
"We were over a minute faster when you put the times together and
closed the gap between

07/11/08 - Beavers Sign Distance Trio from
California
The Minot State University men's Cross Country
and Track & Field teams have signed Brandon Velasquez, Cory
Meza and Leon Medina to letters of intent to run for the Beavers
in 2008-09.
All three runners come from Otay Ranch High School in Chula Vista,
California where they were members of the Mustangs league champion
cross country team, who also placed second in the CIF and 13th at
the state meet.
Velasquez, was 2-time state qualifier in cross county, 2-time league
champion in the 1600 meter run and holds the school record in the
3200 meter run at 9:26.8. He was the #1 runner for the Mustangs
placing 50th at the California state championships last fall.
Medina has run 9:53 for 3200 meters when he placed fifth in the
league meet and has a best of 4:38 for 1600 meters. Meza, primarily
a wrestler until two years ago, has run 10:10 and 4:38 and has really
started to commit himself to running this past year. Meza was the
#5 runner during cross country and finished 150th at state for the
D1 schools in California.

“Signing these three young men is a great plus for our program”,
said Stu Melby, Minot State University Cross Country Coach, “they
come from a very team oriented program and each will contribute
a great work ethic and determination to our program. Each one will
bring a new dimension to our team and together they bring the team
attitude and atmosphere needed as we rebuild.”
These signers bring the Beavers men's cross country team to ten
for this coming fall.

05/21/08 - Four Beavers Ready for Nationals
Arriving in St. Louis , Missouri , the four student-athletes
representing the Beavers at the National Outdoor Track and Field
Championships were greeted with the sight of the Gateway Arch
and all of its meaning and history. Competing at Ralph Korte Stadium
on the campus of Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville in
Edwardsville , Illinois Drew Hysjulien, Jenny Castro, Josh Ming
and Alex Boyeff prepare to add to the Beavers history in this
historic region.
On Thursday May 22nd Ming and Castro will open up the championship
for the Beavers by competing in their specialty event – Javelin.
Fifth year senior Castro (Dillon, MT) will open up the meet for
the Beavers at 4:00 p.m. She takes her 148-9” / 45.35-meter throw,
ranked fifth in the nation looking to earn her third All American
Honor and compete for the title.
At 6:30 p.m. sophomore Ming (Westby, MT) will take his 190-3”
/ 58.00-meter throw to the line where he is ranked 12th in the
nation. He looks to improve on his 14th place finish from last
year after being ranked 17th .
On Friday the 23rd red shirt freshman Alex Boyeff will start
the day at 1:00 p.m. in the shot put. The Minot native is ranked
8th in his first nationals appearance with a best of 53-1.75”
/ 16.20-meters. Approximately two feet separate second and eighth.
At 5:00 p.m. Castro is back at it in the discus. With her personal
best throw of 135-5” / 41.27-meters, set this year, Castro is
ranked 27th .
On the final day, Saturday the 24th, Castro takes her 41-7.25”
/ 12.68-meters shot put to the ring at 1:00 p.m. She's ranked
16th.
At 1:30 p.m. fifth year senior Hysjulien will contest the triple
jump where he is ranked fourth in the nation (even though he has
the third best jump) at 49-4.25” / 15.04-meters. The Grand Forks
native takes his school record jump into his third outdoor appearance.
Hysjulien looks to earn his first All American honor after finishing
12th and 14th in his previous appearances.
Castro and Hysjulien will leave the championship with one honor
guaranteed - their third Academic All American recognition having
maintained a cumulative grade point average above 3.5 for their
career.

04/30/08 - Beavers Ready for DAC Track &
Field, Day Changed
The Minot State University men's and women's Track
& Field teams are in the final stages of preparing for the
Dakota Athletic Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships
on Sunday, May 4th in Jamestown, North Dakota. Originally the
meet was scheduled for Friday, May 2nd but was changed to Sunday
after the DAC coaches and administration consulted the weather
forecast. Friday calls for temperatures in the 30's with chance
of snow and winds up to 25 miles per hour. Saturday the forecast
gets better, but Sunday comes through with the best opportunity
for warmer temperatures and mild wind. The meet begins at 11:00
a.m. at Al Cassell Track on the campus of Jamestown College.
The Beavers look poised to make significant improvements with
their best showings in the past seven years for both the men and
women. On paper, based on the most recent DAC performance list
the men are in line to score over 100 points compared to the 17
points they scored last year. Jamestown , Black Hills and Minot
are within 10 points of each other looking to fight for second,
third and fourth place in the conference. Dickinson is the men's
favorite.
The men will be led by fifth year senior Drew Hysjulien who is
ranked second in both the triple jump and high jump and sophomore
Josh Ming who leads the javelin. Hysjulien is the 2005 and 2006
DAC triple jump champion and looks to three-peat after red shirting
last year. Ming is the defending javelin champion.
The women are looking to fight for fourth with Dakota State where
four points separate the two – 84 to 80. The women's title looks
to go to Black Hills followed by Dickinson and Jamestown .
The women will be led by fifth year senior Jenny Castro who is
ranked first in the javelin and fourth in both the shot put and
discus. Castro is the 2006 champion in the javelin and second
in the discus and looks to repeat those performances after taking
the 2007 season off. Sophomore Amanda Warnett will the way on
the track with her second place ranking in the 400, on the verge
of scoring in the 200, and running legs on both the 4x100 meter
and 4x400 meter relays.
“We are going into the conference meet with a lot of confidence,
excitement, and determination for our highest finishes on both
sides in at least seven years,” said Head Coach Stu Melby. “The
men and women have people in scoring positions in pretty much
every event we are entered in this year, which is very motivating
for us. Everyone is ready to get out and compete and exceed what
we have on paper. The paper scores are nice, but now it is time
to go out and make them a reality and I think everyone is ready
to do that. It will be especially nice to have decent weather
to do it in.”
The Sunday meet will get started at 11:00 a.m. with the men's
pole vault, long jump and shot put and the women's high jump and
discus. It will conclude at 4:45 p.m. with the 4x400 meter relays.
