Annabeth Baalmann<\/a><\/dfn> stole the show by breaking her own school record in the pole vault, clearing 13-3.75 to surpass her previous indoor best by three inches.

She then pushed the bar up another five centimeters, clearing her school-record height on her third attempt. The NCAA Division II national qualifying mark ranks her fourth in the country to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her performance was one of six event titles for the women’s team. Jayme Hagerman<\/a><\/dfn> added two victories of her own, claiming the long jump with a personal-best leap of 18-2.25 and securing the triple jump crown with a mark of 35-9.25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the track, Reba Mader<\/a><\/dfn> dominated the at two distances, winning the 60-meter dash in 8.02 and the 600-yard run in 1:27.33. Taylor Hoskinson<\/a><\/dfn> led the distance runners with a commanding first-place finish in the 3,000 meters, clocking 10:46.95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable performances for the Tiger women included Donna Jackson’s<\/a><\/dfn> second-place finishes in the 60-meter hurdles (9.31) and long jump (17-0.75), while Makenzie Premer<\/a><\/dfn> delivered a strong double, finishing third in the 600-yard run (1:30.09) and second in the 3,000 meters (11:33.78).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tiger men also enjoyed a stellar outing, highlighted by national-qualifying marks from Jacob Clark<\/a><\/dfn> and Brady Deges<\/a><\/dfn> in the pole vault. Clark cleared 16-6.75 to take the top spot, while Deges cleared an indoor personal-best 16-0.75 to take second place on the day and move into the top 10 on the national performance chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the sprints, Hayden Albright<\/a><\/dfn> claimed the 60-meter dash title with a national-qualifying time of 6.84, while teammate Toby Wahlmeier<\/a><\/dfn> followed closely in second with a personal-best time of 6.87. The Tigers swept the top five spots in the final, with four athletes setting personal bests. Ethan Salmans<\/a><\/dfn> gave the Tigers another victory in the 60m hurdles, taking first in 8.42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
