Gulf Shores, Ala. – Carroll's Decathletes highlighted a strong Day 1 at the NAIA Outdoor Championships.
 
Lee Walburn is currently in 1^st place after the initial five events. He ran a personal record in the 100m and 400m. Brett Glaser sits in 9^th place and ran a personal best in the 100m. "Both of our Decathletes did some great things today. Lee was steady as always and Brett relaxed and had fun which led to solid results," said Head Coach Harry Clark.
 
Chad Hemsley closed out a great career in the 400m Hurdles but did not advance to the final. The Women's 4x800m Relay Team placed 4^th in their heat. They could advance to the final based on time but will have to wait for a final decision. A lightning delay and eventual cancellation occurred in the midst of the event, and competition will be rescheduled for Thursday.
 
Thursday morning also boasts the conclusion of the Decathlon for Walburn and Glaser. Day 2 is comprised of the 110m Hurdles, Discus, Pole Vault, Javelin, and the 1500m. In the afternoon, Nikki Krueger will throw Shot Put and Garrett Kocab will throw Discus. Krueger ranks 4^th in the list of competitors, and Kocab ranks 9^th. In the evening, Van Gottwals will race in the prelim of the 800m, and Reghan Worley will compete in the opening round of the 5000m. For the 800, the top 2 in each heat and the next 2 fastest times will advance, and for the 5000 the top 6 in each heat and the next 4 fastest times move on. Both finals would be on Friday.
 
Friday afternoon, Shamrock Campbell will Triple Jump and Madde Boles will High Jump. Boles is currently tied for the 6^th highest clearance in the competitor list.
