Women win and Jadyn Keeler is Women's Champion! Both in dominating fashion. Keeler is 40 seconds over the rest of the field and the team has 5 of the top 15 runners (and 7 of 17). UND 34, SDSU 53, NDSU 71 Just awesome! Congratulations to our Summit League Champs!

Men come in 2nd, their best finish in the Summit. SDSU with the overall #1, #4, #5 runners and 38 team points. UND with overall #3, #7, #10 and 46 team points. NDSU is third with 76. UND's 2nd 5 runners would have finished 6th as a team, ahead of USD and KC. Also Busche for UND finished 16th overall and his score wasn't used. So there is a lot of depth on the team. Great result! Congratulations guys!!

It is not out of the realm of possibility that UND could get two conference team championships this weekend, and have an individual champion in Jadyn Keeler. The men have 4 runners with top 20 times this year, the women 5 (and 3 of the top 5). Other than the performances of Keeler, these teams have been flying a bit under the radar. UND visits Omaha for Summit League Championships.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to see a gopher legacy find success at UND. And I say that as a Minnesota alum.

I was not expecting a win, but would have liked them to take a set. Kennesaw St is a good team, they finished last year ranked 53rd in RPI. Picked to finish 3rd this year in the ASUN, which is a better volleyball league than the Summit.

Yes. But their primary focus is on facilities so most of their funds go to the GF Parks District.

Team Makers has 7 sites in Fargo/WF, including the Dome and Scheel's Center, out of some 70+ sites in the market. So they don't dominate, although they have some prime spots in Lucky's, Frank's and the Holiday Inn. (They don't have Herd n' Horns, Legion baseball does. I thought that was funny.) In Grand Forks, the organizations with the most sites is Development Homes, with 9 sites, and LISTEN, with 7. The Blue Line Club has 3, and GF Youth Hockey 5. BTW, REA has a gaming license. Their only site is the arena, so I assume they need it to do the 50/50.

I'm fairly sure that Team Makers is a distinct entity, separate from the NDSU Foundation. The Champion's Club is not. It is part of the UND Foundation and I highly doubt you are going to get the Foundation board interested in gaming. But nothing is stopping anyone else from forming a 501(c) dedicated non-profit for the purpose of supporting UND Athletics. Team Makers strength is that is only concerned with supporting athletics. It might be a good thing to remove some of UND athletic fundraising away from the Foundation and a good example why might be the Aerospace Foundation, which is not part of the UND Foundation and has about $75 million in net assets.

I think it is 6 teams that have been together at least 2 years. If one more school were to leave/drop the sport, the Summit could still sponsor men's soccer but the auto-bid would be lost.
