Over the next several weeks, Webster University Athletics Department will be releasing its All-Decade Teams of the 2010s. For a full schedule of the teams set to be released, click here.
 
WEBSTER GROVES – Webster University Athletics has begun unveiling its All-Decade Teams from the 2010s as it compiles the best student-athletes across the past 10 seasons (2010-19) in each of Webster's intercollegiate athletic teams. Our ninth team to be unveiled is the 2010-19 All-Decade Men's Indoor Track and Field Team.
 
During the past decade, Webster had numerous individual standouts during the decade across the 16 indoor events and the program established itself as one of the top indoor track and field programs in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which officially added indoor track as a championship sport during the 2019-20 school year.
 
Despite not having an official SLIAC Championship in indoor track during the decade, the Gorloks still competed in an SLIAC Indoor Invitational that began in 2017 and they finished second at the SLIAC Invitational in both 2018 and 2019 and then placed second at the inaugural SLIAC Indoor Championships in 2020.
 
Along with becoming one of the top indoor track and field programs in the SLIAC, the Gorloks also made history as they sent two individuals – Caleb Clemons and Jacob Ridenhour - in the 60-meter dash to the NCAA Division III National Championships in both 2018 and 2019. In fact, Ridenhour also qualified in both 60 and 200-meter dashes in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and cancelled the NCAA Indoor National Championships a day before the event was scheduled to be held.
 
In addition to all the team success, the 30 members of the All-Decade Team earned a combined eight SLIAC Invitational championships and a combined six SLIAC Invitational runner-up finishes. Additionally, the All-Decade Team members set a combined 18 school records.
 
Listed below are the 30 members (Top 2 at each event) of the Webster Athletics Men's Indoor Track and Field Team of the Decade for the 2010s. The student-athletes on the All-Decade team, who were selected by Webster head coach Nick Neihaus and assistant coach Dan Graber, are ranked in order by event.
