Carthage College

The Carthage College men's track & field team entered the back-end of the 2019 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championship at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Boston, Massachusetts on the verge of history with their 4x400 meter relay team of Ronny Onano, Dane Rasmussen, Michael Schantek and David Rogers. The quartet, who qualified for nationals with a 3:16.08 achieved at the CCIW Championships, made it to Saturday's finals after clocking-in an eighth place mark of 3:18.93 in Friday's prelims. The finals resulted in an eighth-place time of 3:27.60 on Saturday, which scored Carthage one point on the overall team standings. Mount Union won the NCAA Divison III Men's 4x400 Meter Relay National Championship with a 3:14.79. The eighth-place time secured Carthage their 12th overall All-American indoor finish, and first since 2014. It also marked the Red Men's first indoor All-American mark in the 4x400 meter relay.

Carthage College women's track & field athlete Elizabeth Willis competed in the shot put at the 2019 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championship at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday. Willis made history with her second All-American tally of the two-day event when she topped out with a career-best 14.48m, good enough for third place out of 20 competitors. Willis's second All-American mark of the event gives the Lady Reds 29 for their indoor program. It also marks the highest Lady Reds finish in the shot put since 1988 when Becky Rucks took second place. Willis saved her best for last as she didn't eclipse the 14.00m mark over her first five tosses as her 13.70m on attempt number one secured her a spot in the finals. After throwing a 13.63m and 13.42m on her fourth and fifth attempts, she bombed a 14.48m on the final throw.
