Kilson, Woodall Set for NAIA Indoor Track and Field Championships

BROOKINGS, S.D. – The Baker track and field program will send a pair of Wildcats – Naomi Kilson and Tavius Woodall – to compete at the 2023-24 NAIA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Feb. 29 - March 2, held inside the Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Complex in Brookings, S.D.

Qualifying for the second straight year, Woodall will race in the 200-meter dash at the national meet this weekend. He marked his season-best time in the 200m at the Washburn Open on Feb. 3 where he clocked an NAIA qualifying time of 21.78, ranking 29th among national qualifiers in the event.

Woodall, who hails from Houston, Texas, was an indoor and outdoor NAIA qualifier for BU last season and was an NJCCA outdoor national qualifier for Fort Scott Community College in the 100-meter dash in 2022.

It marks the first indoor postseason appearance for Kilson, who secured her spot in the national meet with a career-best jump of 5.52 meters in the long jump at the Concordia Classic in late January.

The senior from Long Beach, Calif., placed eighth in the long jump at this year's conference meet and was an outdoor national qualifier for the BU 4x100-meter relay team in 2021 and 2022.

The NAIA Championships are set to begin on Thursday, Feb. 29 with the multi-events getting underway at 12:30 p.m. Kilson and Woodall will compete on Friday, March 1 with women's long jump set to start at 1 p.m., followed by the prelims of Woodall's 200m race at 4:40 p.m. The championship concludes on Saturday with finals beginning at 10 a.m.
