SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Concordia University track and field teams wrapped up their outdoor season at the Conference Championships which was held on the campus of the University of Sioux Falls.

The men's team scored 32 points and placed ninth, while the women score 14.5 points and placed 12^th.

Mike Cullen led the way for the men. His third place throw of 52'8.25 in the shot put reset his school record in a big way. His previous mark that he set earlier in the season was 52'1. The mark also qualified him provisionally for the NCAA Outdoor meet. The final season for the senior has not gone according to plan, but this late success surely ends his NSIC career on a positive note.

The women's 4x100 relay came close to the school record that was set in 2014. Gloria Williams was the only runner for each year's teams.

The 4x400 for the women was also run well. They finished over a second and a half faster than any time over the course of the season.

Freshman Josh Johanson scored points once again this season. He finished 6^th, jumping the same height that placed him third during the indoor conference meet.

Esther Jandrich will be most likely attending the national meet. She placed third in the pole vault and scored 5.5 points for the women.

The NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships are on May 21-23.
