BEMIDJI, Minn. - The Concordia University track and field team finished up the NSIC Indoor Championships on the campus of Bemidji State. Both teams improved on their performance last year as the men's team took home a ninth place finish with 24.5 points and the women's team finished 12th with nine points.

The women's team came into the day with no points but received a few very impressive performances from a few of their consistent contributors.

Michelle Ndely took home a third place finish in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.84 seconds. The finish gave the team six points to get them on the board.

In the 200 meter dash, Gloria Williams ran a time of 25.80 to finish sixth. She picked up three points to bring the total to nine for the championship.

Maggie Marcus (mile), Allison Young (high jump), Martina Ware (weight throw) and Mariah Hoffman (weight throw) all set PR's today as well.

David Stanley had a big day for the men as he set a PR in the 400 meter dash with a time of 50.78. The time was good for seventh place and tacked on two more points to give the team 24.5 for the weekend.

Josh Smith (5000m), Vantwon Melton (triple jump), Matt Pulizos (shot put), John Gabrielson (shot put) and Franklin Okose (shot put) all also set new PR's for the men.
