KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NAIA has officially announced the complete entry list for the 64th annual Men's Outdoor Track and Field National Championships and 35th annual Women's Outdoor Track and Field National Championships. Casey Evans, Shelby Ellsworth, Erin Kibler, and Payton Schiff from the Westminster track & field team have all qualified for the meets.
 
The events will be held at Mickey Miller Blackwell Stadium in Gulf Shores, Ala., May 21 – 23. The Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Sports Commission, in partnership with the city of Gulf Shores, are the hosts for the second-consecutive year.
 
Evans will be making his second-straight appearance at the National Championships in the High Jump. Evans qualified for the event by clearing 2.08 meters at the UVU Collegiate Invite in March. He is currently ranked eighth in the event and he finished 16th in last year's National Championships. The men's High Jump is scheduled to take place on May 22 at 5 p.m. (MT).
