Marshall and Parrish Record NAIA Provisional Performances for Concordia
STANFORD, Calif.—Concordia’s Stephen Marshall and Curtis Parrish earned NAIA provisional marks to highlight Concordia track action at the Stanford Invitational on April 4-5.
Marshall met the NAIA provisional qualifying barrier with a 46-4 1/4 leap in a third-place performance while Parrish ran a 55.22 in the 400 hurdles.
For the year, CU now has six athletes that have met the provisional standard and five that have reached automatic status.
In the throws, Greg Schultz Increased his seasonal best in the hammer with a third-place finish in the A section of competitors with a 200-5 mark. On the track, Martin Romero-Clark turned in a sub four-minute race with a 3:57.96 in the 1,500.
Romero-Clark’s time fell less than a second shy of the provisional standard of 3:57.60.
“It was good to come down for some better weather,” head coach Randy Dalzell said, “We had our sights set on getting good marks while facing some tough competition and with another handful of national qualifiers we felt like the trip was a success.”
