Josh Foss, Josh Miller, David Slabaugh, and Jason Wenzel won the 2008 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championship in the 4x800-Meter Relay. The quartet ran a time of 7:33.53 to edge Oklahoma Baptist by 0.31 seconds and the time remains an IWU program record. Indiana Wesleyan has won seven track and field national championships but the win in the 4x800-Relay is the only track title.

"Jason, David, Joshua, and Josh were each capable individuals with unlimited potential. However, when they shared that baton they were literally unbeatable. They each saved the best race of their career for the one race that meant the most. They chose together instead of alone and set the bar for IWU track and field. With or without a baton, they represent the best of IWU athletics; we are strongest together." -- John Foss, Indiana Wesleyan cross country head coach and former track and field head coach
