Currently, he holds three of the top 11 times in the men’s 8k, including a best of 26:15 (fifth place all-time) set in 2004.

An outstanding student as well, Wier was named to the first-team NIIC All-Scholastic three times, nominated multiple times for CoSIDA Academic All-American honors, and named an ESPN The Magazine third-team national Academic All-American athlete in June of 2005. He was also honored as the recipient of Concordia’s Terry-Schubert Memorial Christian Service Award in 2005.
