The Park University indoor track & field program was in Topeka, Kan. on Friday and Saturday, making noise again with multiple qualifiers to the 2025 NAIA Indoor National Championships.
 
Alexander Caines in the 800m ran a 1:53.55 for 11^th and qualified for nationals by making the "B" standard. His teammate Palmer O'Connor was close to this pace at 1:55.02 for 20^th and a personal best, but did not reach the sub 1:54 time for a ticket to nationals in the 800m. O'Connor, of course, already is slated for nationals in the 1,000m event.

Both Alexander and O'Connor will also represent Park at nationals in the men's distance medley relay. Over the weekend, Ethan Willmann, Chase Housh, Alexander, and O'Connor made Park history in the DMR as the fastest group with a time of 10:12.08, overtaking the previous fastest indoor time from 1986 held by Dave More, Chris Perrone, Mark Gregory, Tim Brown of 10:17.44.

Shemar Caines also had a good meet in the 600y event taking 4^th in a time of 1:12.95.
