Kenadi Aker Does it Again!

Birmingham, AL - Reinhardt Track and Field traveled to Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday to compete at the annual Samford University Bulldog Open held at the Birmingham Crossplex. The Eagles had success on both the men's and women's side with many athletes gaining personal records.

Kenadi Aker had another tremendous meet as she broke the Reinhardt University school record for the third time this indoor season.  Aker ran a 25.99 in the 200 meters, which is her specialty in the sprint events.

Aker will take her record-breaking performance to the AAC Championships, which takes place this Thursday and Friday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  She is firing on all cylinders right now after coming off an injury-plagued 2025 spring track season.
