BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Graduate student
Nick Dahl wrapped up action for the Duke track and field program at the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships Saturday afternoon, earning first team All-America status in the men's mile final.
Competing amid some of the nation's elite runners, Dahl raced to a 4:07.78 finish, which was good for sixth among the field. The Philadelphia, Pa., native sixth-place finish in the event marked the first time since 2015 that the Duke men scored points at the national meet and made him the first individual to do so since
Curtis Beach in 2014.
Dahl concludes a spectacular indoor season in his first year at Duke, in which he set school records in the men's mile (3:55.89) and 3,000m run (7:59.84). His time in the 3,000m event was the first sub-eight-minute time in program history, while his program-record mile time ranked 16th in the country heading into NCAA indoors. Dahl also won gold in the men's mile at the ACC Indoor Championships, clocking 4:04.72 to become the first Duke men's indoor champion in the mile since Bob Wheeler in 1973.
With the indoor season now complete, the Blue Devils turn their attention towards the outdoor season. The first outdoor meet on the docket is the Bob Davidson Invitational, hosted by High Point University in High Point, N.C. Events are slated to begin March 18 and conclude on March 19.
