On April 17, Husky fans from all over the region piled into the National Hockey Center one last time this season to congratulate the Huskies on their historic season.

Runners from all over the world braved the cold weather Saturday morning for SCSU’s annual Earth Day Half Marathon.
Despite the recent tragic events in Boston, 1,483 runners attended the event.
The winner, Elly Sang, a 22-year-old Kenyan, had never completed a half marathon before, let alone with the amount of snow still on the ground.
Sang recorded the fastest time on the day with a blistering 1:08.04.
The fastest woman in the half marathon was 17-year-old McKenzie Holt. Holt, a standout track and field star at St. Cloud Christian School, finished with a time of 1:25.12.
The Huskies baseball team took a split with Concordia – St. Paul on April 21, losing a close game one 4-2 and the getting revenge in game two 11-1.
The Huskies struck first, scoring two runs in the first inning of a two RBI single from Sean Borman, scoring Eric Loxtercamp and Phil Imholte. They were put in scoring position on a sacrifice bunt by Garrett Fischer.
1.) Kansas City Chiefs – Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M This a boring pick, but will prove beneficial. Just look at what Matt Kalil did for the Vikings last season. If Alex Smith doesn’t do well in Kansas City with a new left tackle, Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe, it’ll be on his shoulders.
2.) Jacksonville Jaguars – Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon A tackle is an option here as well, but I don’t think the Jaguars will reach for a quarterback. Worst-case scenario they start Chad Henne and give up on Blaine Gabbert. Jordan could have an immediate impact, chasing around that Andrew Luck guy twice a season.
SCSU student Colin Kraft will be competing in the World Dwarf Games on August 3-10, which is being held at Michigan State University.
