2025-26 INDOOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
Northwest has begun the 2025-26 indoor season strong, having recorded 16 NCAA Division II provisional marks this indoor season across three meets—eight by the Bearcat men and nine by the women.
 
In a historic feat at the recent Coach Richard Alsup Open held at Hughes Fieldhouse in Maryville, Mo. A trio of Bearcat runners—Maxime Touron, Aziz Mohammed, and Grant Bradley—achieved the remarkable milestone of completing the mile in under four minutes. 
 
Touron and Bradley participated as unattached runners, with Touron securing first place with a time of 3:59.395. Aziz Mohammed, competing as a Bearcat, finished second with a time of 3:59.757, which stands as the 17th fastest mark in NCAA Division II indoor history and set the school record for the indoor mile. Grant Bradley rounded out the top three with a time of 3:59.955, earning third-place honors.
 
Due to his performance Mohammed claimed the MIAA Male Track Athlete of the Week accolade along with sophomore Kennedi Cline landing MIAA Female Track Athlete of the Week.
