Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Teams Ready for New Season

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio. —  The Mount Vernon Nazarene University Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field teams are gearing up for the 2025 season. Their opening indoor meet will occur at the Capfam Alumni Classic, hosted by Capital University, on Friday, January 10 in Columbus, Ohio.

Last indoor season, MVNU saw two All-American performances from senior Evan Hodkinson (National Runner Up in the 1000m) and junior Tyler Shipley (7th overall in Pole Vault). Hodkinson will be redshirting during the indoor season but will be set to go for MVNU once the outdoor season is here.

Other returning national qualifiers include Brooke Holloway (JR/Pole Vault), Jaden Haldeman (SR/1600m relay, Heptathlon), Lyssi Snouffer (SR/High Jump), Marcus Whaley (SR/1600m relay), Jordon Reesman (SO/3200m relay), Seth McCloskey (JR/1600m relay), Mason Hendrickson (JR/3200m relay), and Bryce Wiles (SR/60m). As they compete during the 2025 indoor season, they aim to build on their achievements from last year.

New Head Coach Kyle Abney's Track and Field teams are excited to welcome a talented freshman class, featuring 13 men and 8 women. Their arrival brings fresh energy, increased depth, and great potential, adding healthy competition and establishing a strong foundation for the team's future success.
