Cathedral Catholic Track & Field delivered a record-breaking weekend on one of the sport’s biggest stages, competing at the 58th Annual Arcadia Invitational on April 10-11 at Arcadia High School.

Known nationally as the “Home of National Records,” the Arcadia Invitational annually brings together elite competition from across the country and around the globe. In that environment, the Dons distance squad rose to the occasion, setting four school records and posting multiple top national marks in a statement performance.

Friday Night Highlights

The weekend opened with fireworks from the girls’ distance group. The 4×1600 relay team of Liesel Sellerberg, Grace Keefe, Callie Schulteis, and Kristine Bickler shattered the school record by 16 seconds, finishing 3rd in the Invitational Division with a time of 20:32.46, which is currently the 5th-fastest mark in the nation this season.

Later in the evening, Nathan Wilber ’26 added his name to the record book, breaking a nearly decade-old school record in the 3200m with a time of 9:02.74, placing 7th overall in the Open Division.

Also highlighting Friday’s action, the girls’ shuttle hurdle relay team of Abby Rall, Kyla O’Donnell, Larissa Olivas, and Paige Summa turned in the second-fastest time in school history, earning a 3rd-place finish in the Invitational Division.

Saturday Surge

After a strong opening day, the Dons returned on Saturday and set two more school records.

The Boys Distance Medley Relay team, consisting of Teddy Lang (1200m), Zander Wallace (400m), Andrew Martinez (800m), and Nathan Wilber (1600m), shaved nearly five seconds off the previous record, finishing 2nd in the Open Division with a time of 10:17.99.

Capping the weekend, the Girls Distance Medley Relay team of Sellerberg (1200m), Anna Wilson (400m), Kristine Bickler (800m), and Grace Keefe (1600m) broke the school record by nearly three seconds, finishing 3rd in the Invitational Division with a time of 11:53.79—the 9th-fastest time in the country this year.

A National Statement

Competing against some of the nation’s top talent, Cathedral Catholic’s distance crew didn’t just hold its own; it thrived. With four school records, multiple podium finishes, and nationally ranked times, the Dons made Arcadia a defining moment of the season and continued their charge up both the program and national record books.
