EUGENE, Ore. –The Northwest Christian University men's track & field team continues to show marked improvements across the board as the season continues to roll toward the conference championships. While no new CCC qualifications were claimed, a school-record was broken, an NAIA "B" standard was reached, and multiple season-bests were hit as the Beacons competed at the Oregon State High Performance meet.
 
Leading the way was Dan Carrier (pictured) who cleared the provisional standard in the Steeplechase for the first time, coming across the finish line in 9 minutes, 13.50 seconds.
 
Senior Michael Andrews once again topped his own record in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 4.51 meters.
 
Senior Micah Jury lowered his season-best times in both Hurdle events, coming in at 16.26 in the 110m and 56.14 in the 400m.
 
Meanwhile, the NCU throws team competed at the Boise State Border Clash with Logan Oakerman getting some tune-up work in on the discus and shot put. He has already qualified for conference in both events.
 
The Beacons will conclude the regular season next weekend with a pair of "Last Chance" opportunities to hit conference qualifications. Members of the team will compete on Friday at the University Portland Twilight and on Saturday at the Linfield Open.
