MARIETTA, Ohio - Two events at the 2009 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field national championship meet featured Bethel University athletes, and in both cases, those competing will advance to the finals.

Tyler Hinrichs (Sr., Clara City, Minn.) claimed a spot in the finals by finishing among the top four runners in his heat with a time of 3:55.82. Meanwhile, the 4 x 400 meter relay team shattered the school record by finishing with a time of 3:12.47, which was second only to St. Thomas. The team, consisting of Taylor Ferda (Jr., Whitefish, Mont.), Joel Quick (Jr., Johnston, Iowa), Zach Schlegel (So., Woodbury, Minn.), and Eric Rhode (Jr., Oakdale, Minn.) not only bettered the school record by almost 1.5 seconds, but also beat the
