INDOOR KCAC TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS RECAP

Omaha, Neb. - The Bethany College Swedes Indoor Track & Field team took the road to Omaha, Nebraska as the KCAC hosted the 2023 KCAC Indoor Track & Field Championships. The meet lasted two days from Monday, February 12, to Tuesday, February 13th. 

Head Coach Aaron Yoder: "The Swedes trusted their training and delivered their best performances when it mattered the most.  We were impressed with how everyone showed grit and a sense resilience this season. All areas of the team showed great improvement whether it was techincal event or running events and also relays."

Overall, the Swedes had 26 personal bests, 8 All-Conference Honorable Mention performances, 3 event finalists, 2 1st-Team All-Conference performances, 1 event champion and the Athlete of Meet Award.

Enoch Ojo really carried the team by competing in 5 events and scoring in 4 which gave him the honors of being named the Male Indoor Athlete of the Year for the second year in a row. "We are very proud of the hard work he has put in the past 4 years," said Coach Yoder.
