For most NAIA teams, this was conference weekend, and the last meet to qualify for nationals - so this final set of times should pretty much round out the performance lists for the year: The NAIA National Chmpionships are set for March 6th-8th, and will be held in Johnson City, Tennessee. So for those who watched the Indoor Championships, you may have noticed we had a couple NAIA athletes winning titles. First was the favorite in the womens pole-vault Jennifer Stuczynski with a winning jump of 4.70m. In the final event of the meet, Michael Rogers, who graduated from OBU last year, took the mens 60m dash after a slow start in a time of 6.54 outleaning Leroy Dixon by a margin of .02 seconds. Despite being young and new on the scene, Rogers has shown that he is capable of competing with the best, and will now compete for the U.S. in Valencia, Spain at the World Indoor Championships. An interview with Rogers after his race can be seen by following this link (courtesy of flotrack.org).
