The Bruins track and field teams are closing out their season at the NCCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships this week in Columbia, South Carolina.

Action starts Wednesday when the Bruins have several athletes competing in the men's decathlon and one athlete in the women's heptathlon. Misha Gray, Michael Leonard, Jon Vance, and Ian Flynn are back in the decathlon competing in 10 events over the next couple of days. Briana Felter is competing in her first heptathlon and looks to score points for the Bruins.

After the multi-events end on Thursday, Joshua Garian will begin the day for the Bruins in the discus throw followed by Joshua Landry and Samuel Ashley in the javelin throw. Landry will be competing for back-to-back All-American positioning after securing third place last year. 

Sprints are next starting with the 110 meter hurdles where Robert Ulsh will hit the track. Mia Marks and Briana Felter follow in the women's 100 meter dash before Leo Mota represents the Bruins in the men's 100 meter dash. Melody Davis is racing in the women's 200 meter dash before William Stark and Leo Mota go to the starting line for the men's 200 meter dash.

The Bruins have a relay team in the women's and men's 4x800 meter relay. Hannah Cohen, Kristen Dodds, Liz Farley, and Lauren Jones make up the women's team. For the men, itwill be Joel Batres, Daniel Kyle, Levi Gerbitz, and Luke VanDenBerghe.

To close out Thursday, the Bruins will look to make some serious ground in the 10k. Cora Gagne is representing the Bruins in the women's race. Then Evan Seaman and James Baer will follow in the men's race. Seaman is looking for a strong finish to his career and eyeing an All-American finish.

Friday starts early with the women's 5k where Joy Hast will be looking for a strong finish to her career as well. She set the school record for the 5k this season and looks to improve it further.

Grace Bailey and Abby Woo are next in the women's javelin throw. Both have been consistent all season long and have a good chance of scoring for the Bruins.

Trenton Goldsmith hits the track next in the men's 3k steeplechase. This will be the final race of his career, and he looks to finish strong.

The next event for the Bruins is the men's 400 meter race where William Stark looks to improve on his very good time from the last meet.

Melody Davis, Misha Gray, and Robert Ulsh all come next in the women's and men's 400 meter hurdles race.

To close the National Championships, the Bruins have a 4x400 meter relay team made of Leo Mota, William Stark, Joel Batres, and Ian Flynn.
