SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The University of Northern Iowa track and field team racked up four qualifying marks for the NCAA Indoor Championships in Saturday's Meyo Invitational, including a run by the Panthers' men's 4x400 squad that currently ranks No. 5 nationally.
UNI senior Tyler Mulder took third in the men's 800 meters in 1:50.13 and sophomore Dorian Ulrey took seventh in the famed "Meyo Mile" by clocking a personal-best run of 4:01.66.
Mulder's effort in the 800 meters ranks 11th nationally this season, while Reid's time in the 400 meters places him ninth on the national list.
The Panthers' 4x400 team of Cory Goos, Ryan Grenko, Mulder and Reid won in an extremely competitive field by clocking in at 3:08.98 - a season best for UNI by nearly 4 1/2 seconds.
