SEATTLE—Competing in their first meet of 2011, six Concordia track and field athletes earned NAIA qualifying marks, including two from sophomore thrower Gabriella Dixson, at the Washington Indoor held on Saturday.

 

Dixson set personal records in both the shot put and the weight throw to secure automatic qualifiers in both events. Dixson placed fourth overall in the shot put with a two-foot personal record toss of 43-10 and hit 51-7 1/4 in a fifth-place performance in the weight throw for a three-foot lifetime best.

 

Training partner Amanda Federici earned provisional status in the weight throw with a 49-7 effort which stands as a personal record by 10 inches.

 

On the men’s side, Bo Johnson finished is sixth place in the weight throw with a 55-10, easily defeating his former career best of 54-8 3/4.

 

On the track, the Cavs received a pair of qualifiers in the mile and added another in the 800. Andria Scheese led the way in the mile with a 5:06.02 for automatic status while Sami Andrews, a senior soccer player making her track debut, opened with a 5:11.99 to reach provisional status. Linsie Michels, the indoor school record holder in the 800, toured the track in 2:19.54 for an eighth-place finish which netted a provisional qualifier.

 

“I was really excited with our marks, especially Gabi and our women’s middle distance crew,” CU head coach Randy Dalzell said. “Next time we will take quite a few more people, athletes that will be making their indoor debut and will be seeking qualifiers.”

 

The Cavaliers will return to action on Jan. 28 when they make a return trip to Seattle to compete in the UW Invitational.
