Johnson and Pope qualify for Indoor Nationals at Fazoli’s Baymont Open

 

By Heather Schmidt

Assistant Track Coach

 

Coffeyville Community College Track & Field competed at the Missouri Southern State Fazoli’s Baymont Open on Friday January 29 and January 30.  Despite the inclement weather, our athletes arrived focused and ready to compete.  It was well worth the trip as the number of NJCAA Indoor National Qualifiers grew and our school record for the Men’s Weight Throw was broken for the second consecutive week!

 

Congrats to the following new school record holder:

Ryan Johnson (Grandview, Missouri) - Weight Throw 16.97m (55’ 8.25”).

Ryan is currently ranked 4th in the nation among junior college athletes in this event.

 

Congrats to the following NJCAA Indoor National Qualifiers:

Some of our athletes were only scheduled to compete at University of Oklahoma on Saturday, however, that meet was cancelled leaving some of our athletes with a weekend off (so if this results write-up appears abnormally short, that is the reason why!)  We are gearing up for our road trip to Iowa State University this weekend where we anticipate many season best and nationally qualifying performances on the big, fast 300 m track!
