Fifty-four Bulldogs from the Concordia Track & Field programs raked in 2024-25 NAIA Scholar-Athlete awards. The total was an increase from the previous year.
As part of the final week prior to the GPAC Championships, Bulldog athletes will be headed to the Prairie Wolf Invite, Drake Relays and Rock Chalk Classic. Concordia continues to rank in the NAIA top 25 for men and women.
