POCATELLO, Idaho - Carroll College track and field edged multiple athletes closer to NAIA national qualifying marks amidst a great atmosphere at the Stacy Dragila Invitational.

 

The Saints met strong competition in a large meet that included individuals from 12 teams including four NCAA Division I foes. The Men's 4x400-meter relay earned the highest placing on the day at second and narrowly missed the NAIA B Standard.

 

Overall the team placed eight individuals in the Top 10: Paige Baxstresser (20meterm), Broder Thurston (400m), Chad Hemsley (400), Andria Mourich (800), Chloe Gallagher (pole vault), Sophie Loveless (triple jump), Brett Glaser (long jump), and the Men's 4x400 relay. Multiple Saints earned personal records on the day including Glaser (long jump), Crisha Polk (shot put), Jonah Fisher (mile), Zach Rector (3,000), and Spencer Swaim (3,000). 

 

"It was fun to see the athletes show up and perform in such a competitive setting," head coach Harry Clark said. "We're improving and this meet really indicated that with two more weeks of work we'll have many individuals and relays in a spot to qualify for nationals."
