Owls complete season at NAIA championships

William Woods University senior Nick Zink and juniors Gabriel Dos Santos and Rhett Cook watched their season end Friday after they failed to qualify for the finals at the NAIA outdoor national championships.

Dos Santos, competing in the 100 meters, took fourth place in his heat and 21st overall with a time of 10.88 seconds. Cook and Zink both ran in the 400, with Cook coming in fourth in his heat and 13th overall in :48.76. Zink was disqualified.

Meanwhile, Zink was named Friday to the 2014-15 Capital One Academic All-District 3 track and field team by the College Sports Information Directors of America. It was the second CoSIDA honor for Zink.

He will now advance to the Capital One Academic All-America team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team selections will be voted on later this month.
