SEWARD, Neb. – A major honor came the way of junior Adrianna Rodencal on Thursday (Feb. 20) as the GPAC league office announced 2025 GPAC indoor track & field all-conference awards. Thanks to her totaling more points than any other female athlete at last week’s conference championship meet, Rodencal was named the 2025 GPAC Indoor Female Athlete of the Year. In addition, Abby Gerber’s personal best in the shot put resulted in her earning the Women’s Field Performance of the Meet. A total of 45 Concordia University, Nebraska Track & Field athletes garnered 2025 GPAC All-Conference indoor honors based on their performances at the conference meet.
Head Coach Matt Beisel’s squads turned in 2025 GPAC indoor placements of third on the women’s side and fourth on the men’s side. Beisel’s staff includes full-time assistants Ed McLaughlin and Mark Samuels, pole vault coach Jason Berry, graduate assistants Lia Guigui and Darien Semedo and race walk coach Steve Hoger.
Concordia’s GPAC all-conference honor roll (listed below) features eight individuals who won GPAC event titles. Rodencal came away with GPAC golds in the 60 hurdles and 200 meters and as part of the 4x400-meter relay. Rodencal was joined on the championship relay by Trinity Tuls, Isabelle Salters and Kayla Kirchner. Other Concordia GPAC champions were Carson Fehlhafer (shot put), Abby Gerber (shot put), Jonny Jurchen (3,000-meter race walk) and Mayson Ostermeyer (pole vault). Gerber landed the shot put a mark of 48’ 4.”
The Lincoln Lutheran alum Rodencal also broke the GPAC meet record in the 60 hurdles (8.49) and placed second in the 60 meters while racking up 30.5 team points. She was named GPAC Athlete of the Year for the third time in her career. There were four Bulldog teammates who also earned All-GPAC honors in three or more events: Kayla Kirchner, Josi Noble, Trey Robertson and Isabelle Salters. Fehlhafer led all Concordia men’s athletes in points scored with 16 (first in shot put and third in weight throw). Jurchen also broke a GPAC meet record with his time of 14:15.64 in the race walk.
