A pair of national qualifiers from the indoor season won individual titles to highlight the Blue Oval Invitational for the Central College men’s track and field team on Saturday. There were no team scores kept in the meet hosted at Drake Stadium that featured athletes from Division II and NAIA athletes in addition to Central and Simpson College. Kyle Pape’s first 800-meter run of the outdoor season resulted in a time of 1:56.22 and a first-place finish. Will Daniels continues to inch his way closer to breaking the 15-second barrier in the 110-meter hurdles. He ran a career-best for the second consecutive week, winning the event in 15.09 seconds. The Dutch will be split up at three meets next week. A few athletes will head to the Kansas Relays and Bryan Clay Invitational while the majority of the squad will compete at Nebraska Wesleyan University on Friday.
