Prairie Wolves Compete in Two Indoor Meets

LINCOLN, Neb. – Nebraska Wesleyan track & field teams took part in a pair of meets over the weekend to continue to ramp up their performances during the indoor season.  NWU had a majority of their athletes at the Fred Beile Classic on Feb. 7 at Doane University while others took part in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational that was held Feb. 7-8 at the Devaney Center in Lincoln.
 
At the Frank Sevigne Invite, the Prairie Wolves saw the men's 4x400 relay run a season best time that moved them up the NCAA III performance charts.  Lucas Arps, Michael Merical, Marcus Thimm and Kyle Dickinson ran a time of 3:18.89 which ranks them 8th in NCAA III this season.
 
Also at the Sevigne Invite, two male distance runners posted personal best times.  Andy Vasquez ran 4:20.56 in the mile and Preston Decker had a time of 15:57.81 in the 5,000.
 
The NWU women's 4x400 relay also had a season best time when Aspen Rolfes, Reagan Janzen, Megan Carley and Camryn Larsen ran 4:00.19 at the Sevigne Invite.  That ranks them 20th on the NCAA III performance charts.
 
A pair of Prairie Wolves throwers made their way on the NWU all-time charts with their performances at the Fred Beile Classic.
 
Seth Knapp had a personal best mark of 54-4.75 in the men's weight throw to move to 7th all-time while Linnea Konfrst threw 50-7.25 in the women's weight throw for 8th best in school history.
 
Next weekend the Prairie Wolves teams travel to the Grinnell Invite where they will compete against several NCAA III schools and try for a team title in the scored event.
