MEN’S INDOOR TRACK AND FIELD

The Huntington University men’s indoor track & field team delivered a strong two-day showing at the SVSU Open on January 30–31, highlighted by four NAIA B standards, a pair of runner-up finishes on the track, and continued depth across sprints, middle distance, distance, and field events. 

Freshman Noah Wellington led the way with a meet win in the 400 meters, while sophomore Jan Busam doubled up with NAIA B marks in the 200 meters. Huntington also earned an NAIA B standard in the Distance Medley Relay, and sophomore Kharrington Terry added another qualifier in the high jump. The Foresters showcased promising underclassmen across nearly every event group as the season moves toward championship form.
