He’s passed the halfway point.

Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk competed in his fifth collegiate track meet Saturday, running at the Ted Nelson Classic in Mankato, Minnesota.

The former Wolf star, now a freshman at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, has an eight-meet schedule for the indoor part of the season.

Then, after a month-long break (from competition, not training) Conlisk and the rest of the Hardrockers head outside, where it’s hopefully warmed up a bit.

Saturday, the CHS grad competed in two events, running the 400 and carrying the baton as part of the 4 x 4 crew.

Conlisk and his relay squad claimed 3rd, combining to run the event in three minutes, 28.13 seconds.

The Hardrocker freshman also finished 20th (out of 42 competitors) in the 400, hitting the line in 52.80 seconds, just off his college PR of 52.40.

He was second in his heat.

SDSM&T returns to action next weekend, when the ‘Rockers head to Brookings, South Dakota for the SDSU Indoor Classic, which runs February 14-15.

After that, Conlisk and Co. have the Stinger Open Feb. 22 at Black Hills State University, then the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Indoor Championships Feb. 28-29 in Colorado Springs.

The first outdoor meet is Mar. 27.

During his time at Coupeville High School, Conlisk set school records in the 100, 200, and 400, while winning state titles in the last two events.
