Just three short weeks after concluding their indoor track season, the Bruins were back in action at Saturday's season-opening Wildcat Classic hosted by Wayne State. Cool conditions with temperatures in the mid-40's and blustery winds created conditions difficult for personal bests, but the Bruins still came away with some good first-meet marks.
Saba Khvichava brought home four gold medals from Sunday's NSAA Indoor Track and Field Championships held on the 300-meter oval at South Dakota State University. For his efforts, Khvichava was awarded the NSAA Indoor Track Athlete-of-the-Meet. He led the Bruins to their best team finish in program history, a fifth-place finish scoring 57 points. (Top eight places score 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1).
The Bruin distance track team split their squad over the weekend, competing in the Concordia Classic in Seward on Friday evening and the Frank Sevigne Husker Invite at the Bob Devaney Center in Lincoln on Saturday. The highlight of the weekend was the Bruin's first-ever NAIA national qualifying mark for indoor track turned in by Saba Khvichava.
