Bethel University Women’s Track & Field Team Wins 2022 Outdoor National Championship
Bethel Women’s Track & Field finished the final day of the NCCAA National Championship at the top of the standings for the program’s eighth national title and third outdoor banner in three completed seasons—2020 championships were cancelled due to COVID-19.
This brings the Pilots’ total team national championships to 45 for all sports. All three individual national championship performances on the day—Madison Kauffman in Hammer Throw, Jada Parzygnot in Pole Vault, and MarKalah Barnes in Shot Put—hit NAIA standards, as did the podium finish for the 4x100m Relay.
