The Milligan University men's outdoor track & field team had three student-athletes record national-qualifying time on the opening day of the Raleigh Relays.
Will Stockley topped his heat in the 1500 with a national qualifying time of 3:54.80. Stockley bested student-athletes from multiple NCAA Division I programs, including Liberty, Providence, Penn, Lehigh, Wake Forest, Yale and Rutgers. Stockley's mark is an early-season top five time in the NAIA.
Aaron Jones and Bryn Woodall both notched national qualifying times in the 5k. Jones clocked in a t 14:42.80, the third-fastest 5k mark in the NAIA this season, and Woodall ran 14:44.96, the fourth-fastest time nationally.
"Not the results we wanted tonight but it's exciting to see them get the opportunity to race in this environment," said head coach Chris Layne. "This was our first race coming off a big indoor championship and this bunch have been working extremely hard so I know they'll bounce back quickly."
