Seven members of the Calvin University track and field program are headed to the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships next week at UW-La Crosse.
 
Sophie Bull (Denver, Colo./Denver Christian), RyAnn Rohrer (Ludington, Mich./Ludington), Sydney Radigan (Portland, Ore./St. Stephen's Academy), Mia DeJonge (Bellevue, Wash./Bellevue Christian), Alison Bailey (Petoskey, Mich./Petoskey) and Rayn Rutley (Fenton, Mich./Fenton) are all slated to compete for the women, while Zach Van Baren (Hudsonville, Mich./Covenant Christian) will compete for the men.
 
The NCAA III Outdoor Track and Field Championships will take place at UW-La Crosse starting on Thursday, May 21, through Saturday, May 23.
 
Bull will be competing in both the 3000 meter steeplechase and the 5000 meters. The defending NCAA III national champion in the steeplechase from last season, Bull enters the meet with the top time in the nation at 10:07.18 and will compete in the event at the NCAA III Championships for the third straight season. She will also run in the 5000 meters and enters with the eighth-best time at 16:29.62. Bull is also a national champion from this indoor season in the 3000 meters.
 
Rohrer earned the invite in both the shot put and discus throw. Rohrer previously made the NCAA III Championships as a freshman in 2023 in the shot put and enters this year's event with the 12th-best mark in the nation at 13.78 meters. She made the NCAA III meet for the first time in her career in the discus throw and ranks 11th in the nation this year with a mark of 46.36 meters.
 
Radigan will be competing in three events. After winning the national championship in the 60 meters and taking second in the 200 meters at the NCAA III Indoor Championships, Radigan is the top seed in the 100 meters this outdoor season with a time of 11.40 and in the 200 meters with a time of 11.50. She qualified in the 200 meters for last year's Outdoor Championships and earned Second Team All-America honors.

DeJonge will be competing in one individual event, the 100 meter hurdles, thanks to a regular season time of 14.38 that ranks third in Calvin outdoor history and is 22nd among qualifiers for the meet.
 
Radigan and DeJonge will also compete in the 4x100 relay with Bailey and Rutley after that quartet set a new Calvin outdoor record with a time of 46.29 on Thursday at Augustana College. The Knights enter the NCAA III Outdoor Championships with the fourth-fastest time in the country. 
 
Van Baren will be making his first trip to the NCAA III Outdoor Championships in the decathlon after a personal-best performance of 6626 points last week at University of St. Francis, good for the 14th-best point total in the country this season.
