Results

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Valor Track and Field took part in the NAIA Indoor T/F National Championships on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (Mar. 5-7) in Gainesville, Florida. 

The meet was highlighted by a trio of dominant performances from the Evangel women, as Autumn Nold, April Phillips, and Delaney Miller all finished second in their respective events, the first time EU has ever had three national runner-ups in a single national championship meet.

The efforts helped push the women to an eighth place finish, the highest ever in EU Track and Field history, and tied for the best overall team finish since 2005 (WBB final four in '05) with EU men's basketball's elite eight run in 2024.
