Foresters qualify four, earn All-MCC

4/30-5/1 -  Six individuals have now qualified to the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships after excellent efforts at the Mid-Central Conference Championships at Goshen College over the weekend.  Jonathan Doyle bettered his national mark in the 110 high hurdles with an MCC victory in 14.96 seconds and met the provisional qualification mark in the 400 hurdles with a third-place effort in 54.90 seconds. David St. Louis met the provisional qualification mark for the first time in his young career with a third-place effort in the 3000 meter steeplechase in 9:40.21. The Forester also qualified the women's 4x800 relay consisting of seniors Nicole Jacob and Brooke Welch, sophomore Courtney Gullickson and freshman Brittany Fillman. The ladies finished second in the race in 9:40.19.

At the conference championships, Kellie Hanson led the way for the Lady Foresters with the only victory for the ladies on the day. Seeded third going into the discus event, Hanson fought through the difficult wet and slippery throwing conditions due to a steady downpour of rain to steal the win with a toss of 108 feet 5 inches.  She was named to the All-Conference team as was Ashley Gonterman, who finished second in the 100 dash, third in the 200 dash, and ran a leg in the second-place 4x400 relay (along with Fillman, Welch, and Kara Fultz) and the third-place 4x100 relay (along with Fillman, Fultz and Lisa Isabelli).

Other top three finishers for the Foresters included Fillman (400, 2nd, 1:01.25), Joseph Waithira (5000, 2nd, 15:36.56), and Gullickson (400 hurdles, 3rd, 1:11.02). All three of the men's relay teams had top-three finishes with the 4x400 (Tim Foster, Jon Pelz, Doyle, and Cody Hannie, 3:25.14) finishing second and the 4x100 (Cory Thompson, Pelz, Foster, and Doyle, 44.35) and 4x800 (Matt Waldfogel, Jared Neale, St. Louis, and Hannie, 8:00.52) finishing third.
