- Liam Galligan put on a show in the 5000 meter run, as he ran to a first place finish with a time of 14:27.73 (14:37.02#). This was the first time he has ran this distance since December. His time moved him up to 22nd place in the nation in the this event, as he looks to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
- Ryan Ozymy and Easton Syvertson ran in the 400 meter run, as they finished 27th and 37th respectively.

Up Next
Franciscan will head to Youngstown on Thursday for the PAC Indoor Track & Field Championship. Last season these were not able to be played, so this will be Franciscan's second attempt at a PAC Championship on the indoor side. A couple of Barons and Lady Barons are penciled in as favorites in their events, but the deepest team will take home the title on Thursday.
