The Master’s University men’s indoor track and field team earned two national championships during its first-ever trip to NAIA nationals in March.
Caleb Pouliot won the pole vault, becoming just the sixth individual in TMU history (in any sport) to win an individual national title. And the men’s distance medley relay team of Zach Garey, Samuel Jean, Anthony Ghiorso, and Davis Boggess set a new school record (9 minutes, 59.47 seconds) to earn a national title of their own.
Pouliot cleared 5.10 meters in the finals to tie his season high.
“I don’t deserve to win, and I don’t deserve to be on such an amazing team,” Pouliot said. “I have such great support from so many people. I couldn’t have done anything without the Lord and his favor.”
Boggess (mile) and Hunter Romine (5,000 meters) were individual All-Americans. As were Hannah Fredericks (1,000) and Ellen Palmgren (600) on the women’s side. The Mustangs were also All-Americans in the distance medley relay (Fredericks, Palmgren, Micaiah Scott, Rebekah Niednagel) and the 4×800 relay (Palmgren, Fredericks, Suzie Johnson, Emma Nelson).
