Meeting qualifying standards is the standard for the two-time defending NJCAA champion College of DuPage Chaparrals, who competed Friday at NCAA-member McKendree.
 
The women earned 12 qualifying standards, and the men hit 19.
 
For the women, Patty Karpiesiuk met the standard in the 200 and 400 and high jump, and Lillian Buzani met times in the 800 and 5000. Morgan Clifford (100 and 400 hurdles) and Kelly Kibler (800 and 1500) were double qualifiers.
 
Paulina Stachura (100) and Tessa Bleers (triple jump) and Belle Adduci (1500) capped the Chaps' day.
 
The men rolled on with their 19 qualifiers. Noah Mack (100, 200, 4 x 100) and Graham McAninch (110 and 400 hurdles, 4 x 100 relay) led the way with three standards each. Anthony Eddy (800, 1500), Dustyn Kocsis (shot put, hammer), Isaias Lopez (shot put and hammer) and Gabriel Parker (200 and 4 x 100 relay) were double qualifiers.
 
Alex Mendez reached qualifying in the 400 with Sheldon Powell and Axel Huerta earning times in the 5000.
