MILWAUKEE --  The Parkside men's track and field team returned to action on Saturday, competing at the Tierney Classic hosted by the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.
 
Parkside had three athletes reach NCAA Division II Provisional qualifying standards. Michael Hendrix hit the mark in the 60 hurdles and EJ Johnson and Simon Dominic hit the standard in the high jump.

"Very good progress from the team today," remarked Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Nick Maas. "Six provisional standards on the day and a slew of personal bests. Standouts were Nailah Taylor improving her national mark and taking great attempts at the school record in the high jump. Also, Kyril keeps getting better every week, don't be surprised to see him on the national list soon. Big highlight was a top five in program history 800 meters and provisional mark from freshman Doug Martin. He is just scratching the surface of potential. Overall, great progress and we look forward to showing the alumni what we've got next week.
