Kuxmann Sets School Record

Several Millikin athletes competed in NCAA Qualifying meets on May 13 in hopes of improving their chances of getting selected for the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships later this month.

Six athletes competed at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. Big Blue senior Ben Kuxmann won the 800 Meters setting a new school record time of 1:49.19. Kuxmann entered the night with the seventh fastest time in the NCAA DIII this season. Pending other action today, Kuxmann's time should move him into the top five times in the country and safely in the NCAA Field. Jake Shumaker was seventh in the 800 Meters in 1:51.34, which is third fastest in school history. Shumaker should move into the top 20 times in NCAA Division III.
