KENOSHA, Wis. – The Concordia University Wisconsin Track & Field team had a few athletes compete at the Carthage Final Qualifier on Friday. The Falcons had solid results, led by Grant Johnson in the pole vault, as he set the school record by clearing 4.31 meters.

THE BASICS
- Location: Tarble Athletic Center – Kenosha, Wisconsin
- School Record: Grant Johnson (Pole Vault – 4.31 meters)
- Individual Winners: Nora Imperl (Mile – 5:16.97)

RESULTS
- Johnson (Oconomowoc, Wis.) had already tied the school record by clearing 4.25 meters earlier this season. On Friday, he moved atop the Falcons leaderboard by himself, clearing 4.31 meters, which was good enough for a third-place finish in the event.

- Imperl (Greenfield, Wis.) was coming off an impressive performance at the NACC Championships last weekend and continued her momentum with a win in the mile run. She crossed the finish line in 5:16.97, winning the event which featured 16 runners.

- Cassandra Sprotte (Abbotsford, Wis.) was a second away from her own school record in the 800 as she clocked in at 2:20.75. She finished third in the event.
