RIVALDO MARSHALL WINS NATIONAL TITLE

Topeka, KS – Rivaldo Marshall (Kingston, Jamaica/Calabar) became just the second individual in Indian Hills Men's Track & Field school history to claim multiple individual national championships throughout their career as the sophomore sprinted to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Indoor Track & Field 800-meter title on Saturday.

Marshall joins former Warrior and Olympic Silver medalist Kenny Bednarek to claim multiple national titles in their career after winning the 800m championship at Washburn University on Saturday. Marshall, who won the 2022 NJCAA Outdoor Track & Field 800-meter National Championship, won Saturday's event with a time of 1:50.56.

Marshall's title comes one year after the standout placed second overall as a freshman at the 2022 NJCAA Indoor Track & Field National Championship.

The sophomore finished .42 seconds ahead of South Plains' Kimar Farquharson who entered the weekend as the NJCAA record holder in the men's 800m event.

Along with Marshall's title on Saturday, the sophomore was named the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Midwest Region Male Track Athlete of the Year.
