Track and Field

There were two school records, 17 event championships and a series of other impressive performances on March 28 as the Bulldogs competed at the Central College Invite in Pella, Iowa.

For many Bulldog athletes, the 2024 outdoor season will get started on Thursday at the Central Invite. The meet will be held at Schipper Stadium in Pella, Iowa, home to NCAA Division III Central College.

An automatic national qualifying mark in the shot put at the Bethel Invite led to Abby Gerber being named the GPAC Women's Field Athlete of the Week. Gerber is a two-time NAIA All-American.

In lieu of the Grand View Viking Relays, a group of 20 Bulldog throwers traveled to North Newton, Kan., for the Bethel Invitational. The yields included five automatic national qualifying standards.

Courtesy of their performances at the 2024 NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships, 15 Bulldogs have earned All-America honors in one or more events. The list includes national champions in Zach Zohner and the women's 4x8.

A fine weekend in Brookings, S.D., culminated on Saturday (March 2) with a national title in the pole vault from Zach Zohner and team place finishes of third on the women's side and eighth on the men's side.

Day two of the NAIA national meet was a fruitful for Concordia Track & Field. Seven Bulldogs officially earned All-America awards and the 4x8 highlighted the day by winning the national title.

Day one of the 2024 NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships saw the women's relays blaze to finals qualification placements. Jenna Esch starred on both the 4x4 and 4x8. A total of 13 Bulldogs were in action on day one.
