High distinction went to Zach Zohner on July 15 as he was named the NAIA Men's Field Scholar Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA. In addition, 37 Bulldogs earned All-Academic Athlete honors.
The 2024-25 indoor slate (four home meets) for Concordia Track & Field will look much like the one from 2023-24. One new twist will be the shift of indoor nationals to Gainesville, Florida.
Pole vaulters Zach Zohner (first team) and Mayson Ostermeyer (second team) represented Concordia Track & Field with Academic All-America awards, as selected by College Sports Communicators.
As announced on July 9 by College Sports Communicators, Kylahn Freiberg and Rylee Haecker have been chosen as NAIA First Team Academic All-Americans while Josie Puelz was honored as a Second Team Academic All-American.
She's one of a kind for so many reasons. In five years as a Concordia Bulldog, Josie Puelz not only won five NAIA national titles, she did so with class and that signature smile while living out her Christian faith.
Based on its NAIA national finishes, the Concordia women's cross country and track & field programs combined to land at No. 5 in the final 2023-24 program standings released by the USTFCCCA.
The Concordia Cross Country and Track programs placed the maximum number of student-athletes on the list of 2023-24 Academic All-District honorees. Five of the selections are repeat award winners.
The collegiate journey for Chris Wren culminated with a hammer throw national title. This mountaintop moment was meant to be for Wren, who looks back at his Concordia experience and how it transformed his life.
Courtesy of their efforts at the 2024 NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, 10 Bulldogs emerged with All-America awards. The list includes national champions Chris Wren and Zach Zohner.
Zach Zohner rose to the top of the mountain in the pole vault once again as one of eight Bulldogs to officially earn All-America awards on the final day of the national meet. The Concordia men placed seventh nationally.
