Welcome back to the Red Banner Race Report podcast, featuring the cross country and track and field stars of the NAIA. I’m your host, Meran, and today’s guest is Katie Vogt of Doane University. Katie has established herself as one of the top sprinters in the NAIA, and her recent season highlights include some pretty amazing achievements.

• School Record Holder: On April 8, 2026, she set a new Doane school record in the 400 meters with a time of 53.32 seconds, which still currently ranks as the fastest time in the NAIA.
• National Honors: She was named the NAIA Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week in April 2026 after a dominant week in which she secured multiple wins and met national qualifying standards.
• Versatility: Beyond the 400m, she competes at a high level in the 200m and is a key member of the 4x400m relay team, contributing to several conference and national podium finishes, including the national indoor championship 4x400 m relay in March.

We’ll chat with Katie about her career improvement, her goals for what remains to be done in her senior season, and get to know her as an athlete on and off the track. "Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
