Caitlin Wilson took fourth in the women’s pentathlon.
Continuing Central’s powerful tradition in the multi-events, senior Caitlin Wilson and freshman Eric Larson each earned all-America distinction at the NCAA Division III indoor track and field championships.
Wilson, previously a national outdoor placewinner, took fourth in the women’s pentathlon with a career-best 3,352 points. Meanwhile, Larson opened some eyes by taking eighth in the
men’s heptathlon with 4,749 points.
The Central women placed third as junior sprinter Felicia Coleman broke
two school records.
Senior Kyle Wood was also a national qualifier, competing in the 400 meters. He earlier was named the Iowa Conference track events MVP. He won the same honor at the league outdoor meet last spring. Wood helped Central place second in the conference team standings after the Dutch claimed the previous two titles. An injury to all-American multi-eventer Ethan Miller dampened Central’s hopes.
