ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Concordia Unversity track and field team heads to Gillett Rec Center at Bemidji State this weekend to take part in the NSIC Indoor Championships. The Golden Bear men's team enters the weekend with 14 points from the NSIC Multi Championships.
The men's team needs just four more points to eclipse last season's mark of 17.5 points. Armed with three school records so far in the 2014 indoor season, the team is poised to ecplise last year's indoor total. The women have already topped five indoor school records including two athletes breaking the 200 meter dash making the total even more impressive as each squad carries positive force into the weekend.
