AMES, IOWA – Jackson Dutcher finished in 23rd place, securing all-region recognition, leading the South Dakota State men to a seventh-place finish at the 2026 NCAA Midwest Regional on Friday.
HEAD COACH ROD DEHAVEN
"Incredible day for the Jackrabbits. Our men came in ranked 12th and finished seventh while being within shouting distance of some teams that may make the NCAA's. I'm proud of our young men's efforts and their ability to execute over 10,000 meters."
"On the women's side, Faith Wiese's run is an inkling of things to come for her. It's a young group that got some good experience and the Jackrabbit women will be back in a big way next year."
MEN'S RACE | Results
Dutcher (29:24.8) continued his strong end of the season by becoming the seventh Jackrabbit in the past five seasons to earn NCAA DI All-Midwest Region honors. It's the 10th time in the past 11 seasons that a Jackrabbit has received such recognition.
Cashton Johnson (29:42.4) kept pace with the leaders through the 4K mark and ended up taking 33rd.
After a fourth-place finish at the Summit League Championship, Eli Hall (29:47.6) followed that up with a regional placement of 36th.
Will Lohr (29:55) was the fourth Jackrabbit to cross the finish line, securing a top 40 placement.
Brandon Kampsen (30:23.6) capped off the scoring five for South Dakota State, making a strong put in the final 1,000 meters.
Five of the six teams that finished ahead of South Dakota State were nationally ranked. The Jacks edged Kansas by one point, topped five more power four program, and posted the best team finish of any Summit League school.
WOMEN'S RACE | Results
Wiese (20:26.7) paced the women, placing 37th overall. It marked the second time in three seasons that a freshman recorded SDSU's top performance at the Midwest Regional meet, joining Courtney Stadter, who accomplished the feat in 2024.
Nora Peterson (21:23.4) was the second Jackrabbit to cross the line, placing 110th. Close behind her, in 113th was Ella Boekelheide (21:26.5).
Nicole Swanson (21:39.4) and Eleni Lovgren (21:32.8) rounded out the scoring for the Jackrabbits, finishing in 124th and 134th respectively.
UP NEXT
South Dakota State will have its eyes on the NCAA Division I Cross Country Selection Show, which is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14 at 4 p.m., to see if any competitors earn a bid to the NCAA National meet in Terre Haute, Ind., on Saturday, Nov. 21.
