Nathan Limas – 5000m Racewalk
Limas finished off his season on Thursday with a fantastic effort. Nathan crossed the finish line with a 22:19.01. That time was enough to put him in 7th place across the field.
Nathan Limas earned himself a 2025 NAIA All-American status in the 5000m racewalk and a wonderful season.
Blake Willey – Shot Put
Willey competed in the Shot Put on Friday. They had a semifinal pool and took nine to the final. After the qualifying round, Willey nudged his way into the final, sitting in the ninth spot.
In the final, Blake marked over 16.00m in every throw on the flight and marked a 16.80 as his furthest attempt of the round. Despite being more consistent, he stayed put at ninth, just missing All-American honors. Willey completed his Grand View career as a stand-out student-athlete.
