GENEVA, Ohio -- Behind a gold medal in the distance medley relay and a pair of top-three finishes in the 3,000 meters, the Wisconsin men's track and field team sits third in the Big Ten Conference Indoor Championships after the first of three days of competition. Iowa leads after four events with 30 points while Minnesota ranks second with 25 points. The Badgers scored 24 points at The SPIRE on Thursday. 

DMR brings home gold

The quartet of Shuaib Aljabaly, Colin Enz, Ansel Fellman and Jackson Sharp broke the tape in 9 minutes, 36.49 seconds to bring home gold for the Badgers. Aljabaly kicked off the relay, running 2:58 for 1,200 meters. Enz took the baton with the Badgers in second place, running 47.5 for 400 meters.
