Following six weekends of indoor competition, Concordia Track & Field is ready to host the 2023 GPAC Indoor Track & Field Championships. The meet will take place Friday and Saturday inside the Fieldhouse.
In a final outing prior to the GPAC Championships, the Bulldogs combined for five new automatic national qualifying standards and 10 event titles while Adrianna Rodencal broke her own school record in the 60 hurdles at the Concordia Invite.
One of the GPAC's top distance runners this indoor season, Calvin Rohde has been chosen as the GPAC Men's Track Athlete of the Week for the second straight time. Rohde moved up to No. 4 in the NAIA in the 1,000 meters.
In what will be home meet No. 4 of the indoor season, the Bulldogs will host athletes from 10 institutions at the Concordia Invite. Coach Matt Beisel's squads will look to add to their season tally of 20 automatic national qualifying standards.
Calvin Rohde and Rylee Haecker polished off the weekend by running personal bests in the mile at the Sevigne Husker Invitational. They were two of 11 Bulldogs to compete at the Devaney Center in Lincoln.
As part of a jampacked Concordia Classic meet, the Concordia vaulters crushed with a combined eight performances that met the automatic national qualifying standard. Meanwhile, Adrianna Rodencal broke the school 60 hurdles record.
A new automatic national qualifying time in the mile led to Calvin Rohde being named the GPAC Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week. Rohde is qualified for nationals in three events for the fifth-ranked Bulldogs.
The third of five home indoor meets this season will be Friday's Concordia Classic. The Bulldogs are slated to welcome athletes from 13 competing institutions as they look to add to their season tally of 16 automatic standards.
It was another solid weekend of indoor competition as the top five nationally ranked Bulldogs combined for four fresh 'A' marks and 14 event championships at the Fred Beile Classic hosted by Doane on Saturday (Jan. 28).
In the initial 2023 NAIA national ratings index released by the USTFCCCA, the Bulldog women appeared at No. 2 while the men landed at No. 5. Concordia athletes have combined for 12 automatic national qualifying marks so far.
