Pocatello, Idaho  – Saints Track & Field snagged more National Qualifiers at the Mountain States Games in Pocatello, Idaho on Friday and Saturday.

The Men's Distance Medley Relay Team of Brycen Gardner (1200m), Peter Rehberger (400m), Wyatt Ehredt (800m), and Zack Gacnik (1600m) covered the 4000m Relay under the NAIA B Standard time, earning a ticket to the Indoor National Championships in Florida in two weeks. Carroll ran a second relay team in the men's event. That group placed 6th, just ahead of conference foe Rocky Mountain College.

Tucker Monaco and Carson Krack - already qualified for Nationals in the Heptathlon - competed in the multi-event again this weekend, both setting all-time bests. They placed 1st and 2nd and respectively, moving to 2nd and 6th in the NAIA.

Multiple Saints set personal records across other events, including Claire Bucklin in the 60m Hurdles, Pierce Davis in the 60m, and Nikki Nau, Ali Cunningham, Zack Gacnik, Oliver Morris, and Luke Decker in the 3000m. Hunter Gum set a college personal best in the Shot Put as did Bucklin in the Long Jump. 

Jackson Swanz made the final in the 60m Hurdles and Madalen Shipman had a stellar debut in the Mile after also placing 2nd in the 600m in an individual record. Tim Sellars debuted for 2025, competing in the Shot Put. Josh Smalley was aiming for the NAIA B Standard in the Pole Vault but came up short and will regroup in preparation for another campaign in outdoor season.

Full results for the meet are available HERE.

A group of Saints will compete next Thursday in Bozeman at the Big Sky Tuner. The NAIA Indoor National Championships will take place in Gainesville, Fla. on Feb 27-Mar 1 with the Men's DMR, Gacnik (5000m), Shipman (600m), Monaco (Heptathlon), Krack (Heptathlon), Weston Means (High Jump), and Brynn Wandle (Pole Vault) competing.
