The Central College track and field squads had five student-athletes in action on a rainy opening day of the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Thursday. In the women’s heptathlon, Olivia Bohlen sits in sixth place with 2,959 points through four of the seven events. The men’s decathlon features a pair of Central competitors, and after five events, Kale Hobart is seventh with 3,517 points and Reid Pakkebier is 14th with 3,349 points. Peyton Steffen ran her preliminary heat of the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase in 10 minutes, 33.53 seconds, finishing fourth and earning an automatic spot in Friday’s final. Jack Brown also ran in the preliminaries of the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase but his time of 9:11.19 was not enough to get in the final as he finished in 18th place.
