Dakota State University sprinter Brenner Furlong helped the Trojans 400-meter relay team to an NAIA national qualifying time Saturday in the Dakota Relays at Howard Wood Field in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Furlong, a 2018 Soldotna grad, led off the relay as the Trojans won with a blazing time of 41.54 seconds, which is also the 13th-fastest time in the NAIA this spring, and is the third-fastest in Dakota State history.

Furlong also ran to fifth place in the 200 meters with a personal-best time of 22.25 seconds.
