NAIA National Qualifiers: Men | Women
SEWARD, Neb. – The field of 2025 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships qualifiers has been solidified. In conjunction with the NAIA’s release on Wednesday (May 14), the Concordia University, Nebraska Track & Field program has announced its nationals roster of 20 individuals (including 12 women and eight men). The championship meet will run May 21-23 at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Ind. This will mark the third-straight year that Indiana Wesleyan has hosted the outdoor national championships.
Head Coach Matt Beisel’s squads are coming off conference places finishes of second for the women and fourth for the men at the 2025 GPAC Outdoor Championships hosted by Hastings. In the most recent NAIA ratings (May 13) released by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, Concordia appeared at No. 7 on the women’s side and at No. 20 on the men’s side.
The women placed 20th at this past NAIA indoor national championship meet. GPAC Athlete of the Year Adrianna Rodencal will have the most hectic week in Marion as she competes in four separate events. Rodencal earned her first career All-America award back in March and appears poised to add to her medal count. Concordia’s women’s field also features previous All-Americans in Abby Gerber, Kayla Kirchner, Isabelle Salters, Gretchen Stottlemyre, Trinity Tuls and Abi Wohlgemuth. The Bulldog women earned national qualifications in two relays (4x1 and 4x4).
On the men’s side, Concordia is especially loaded with throwers and race walkers. In addition, pole vaulter Mayson Ostermeyer will take aim at a third career All-America award. Freshman Jonny Jurchen leads the way for a crew of three race walkers. In his rookie year, Jurchen has already collected two GPAC titles and an All-America medal. In the throws, senior Austen Rozelle has previously ascended to the podium in the discus. He’ll be joined in Marion by three throws teammates on the men’s side.
Two Bulldogs will make their first-ever appearance at a national championship meet: Nathan Baldwin and Sam Olson. Including Olson, there are four freshmen heading to Marion. The others are Harper Boche, Jonny Jurchen and Adysen McCarter. Meanwhile, eight Concordia seniors are slated to compete at the collegiate level for the final time.
