The Keiser University men's and women's indoor track and field teams are set to compete in the Legends of Alachua County Invitational this weekend. The two-day meet at the Alachua County Sports and Events Center in Gainesville, Florida, begins at 9:00 a.m. each day. Both squads aim to build on recent strong performances from their prior outing.
Keiser University's Seahawks enter the Legends of Alachua County Invitational with momentum from the RADD Sports College Invitational. The women's team highlighted personal records, a school record, and a national-qualifying mark in their previous meet. Niesha Aldajuste leads the throws group after meeting the NAIA B standard in the weight throw, earning an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships. On the track, Camille Romero set a personal record in the 600 meters to open the season, while Eva Vrancken established a school record in the 3,000 meters, showing progress in distance events.
The men's team also impressed at the RADD event with multiple podium finishes and personal bests, particularly in distance and field competitions. Jesse Songo secured podium spots in the 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters, alongside personal records. Adrian Rivadulla achieved three top-four finishes, including a personal best in the 800 meters, as the middle-distance group continues to strengthen. In throws, Casey Wood took second in the shot put and is working toward consistency across events.
The invitational features a full slate of events over Saturday and Sunday, including dashes from 60m to 400m, middle- and long-distance runs up to 5,000 meters, relays, hurdles, and field events like high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, shot put, and weight throw. Both teams seek to gain experience, improve marks, and pursue national qualifying standards as the indoor season advances.
