ADA, Ohio -- Rose-Hulman men's track & field student-athlete Carter Lindfelt made the trip to Ohio Northern to compete in the Polar Bear Final Qualifier on Saturday. 

Lindfelt competed in the 5000-meter run, earning a first-place finish with a time of 16:01.92. The time does not beat his season-best time of 14:57.91 on a banked track at the Fairgrounds Invitational earlier this season. 

Lindfelts season-best time converts to a 15:07.52 which currently ranks 17th in the Great Lakes Region and 147th in all of NCAA Division III. 

Rose-Hulman track & field will begin its outdoor season by hosting the Early Bird Invitational on Saturday, March 22, at 11 AM.
