The Marian men's track and field team had a strong showing in both Indiana and Tennessee over the weekend competing at both Indiana Wesleyan and Lee University, finishing in the top-five of both meets. Marian recorded five NAIA standards on the weekend between Tristan Trevino and Christian Rios, who both paced Marian's efforts at Lee University's Fast Break Invite.

The Knights scored 56 points at Lee University, with Rios and Trevino accounting for 48 points in the meet. Rios hit two A standards and one B standard as he won the shot put, hammer, and discus, while Trevino won the 800m with a B standard time, posting an A standard effort on Friday in the 1500m second-place finish. Markevious Keys scored the remainder of Marian's points, placing top-eight in the shot put and hammer. 

At Indiana Wesleyan's Little State Championships, the Knights had several scoring finishes throughout the two-day meet. Marian's 4x100m relay had the team's lone victory at Indiana Wesleyan.
