Sophomore Sam Black followed closely behind, taking a seventh place finish in the men's heptathlon, earning first team All-American honors.

Junior Noah VanderVeen was the last Cardinal to recieve his All-American award after finishing eighth in the men's high jump competition.

The Cardinals have finished their indoor races for the 2018 season and will start the outdoor portion of the year at the end of March.
