The Bees punched more tickets to nationals at their Bumble Rumble Saturday in the WRC. Will Reemtsma and Annah Miller both hit the A standard while Lexie Johnson met the B standard.

Reemtsma, who had already qualified in both the 400-meter dash and 600-meter run, hit the A standard in the 200-meter dash Saturday. His winning time of 22.16 seconds converts to a qualifying mark of 21.77 seconds. That ranks him second in the CCAC and 12th in the NAIA.

Miller qualified in the shot put. Her winning throw of 13.57 meters was a PR and the top throw in the CCAC this season. She is ranked 10th in the NAIA.
