MOORHEAD, Minn. — She's baack.

And this time, it looks like Ashley Dingels (Gibbon, Minn.) is going to have a little company.

In 2003, Dingels stole the show at the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Indoor Championships, setting a school record with 3,233 points en route to winning the school's first-ever pentathlon championship.

After a year off — not but choice, but, rather, due to an ACL injury during the 2003 volleyball season — Dingels found herself back in the MIAC pentathlon spotlight, winning her second indoor title with a record-setting total of 3,317 points.

And we're not just talking school record-setting, either.

Not only did Dingels shatter her own school mark with that 3,317 total, but it was also the best ever in the MIAC, as well as the best ever at the Concordia indoor track

And, while Dingels dominated the women's pentathlon, SMU junior Rob Friendt (Ogden, Utah) has put himself in commanding position to make it a Cardinal sweep, boasting 2,727 points — setting school records in the high jump (6-3 1/4) and the long jump (23-1/4) and tying the school mark in the 55 (6.8) — after four of the seven events in the MIAC heptathlon.

"It was a great day for Rob — and an even greater day for Ashley," said SMU coach Kirk Nauman. "Ashley just dominated from start to finish. It was an awesome day for her. And Rob has put himself in perfect position with his money events — pole vault and 55 hurdles — among the three events yet to come.

"Hopefully we'll be able to come home with a pair of multi-event champions."
