TOPEKA, Kan. – The Fort Hays State women’s track and field team placed sixth at the 2021 MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships that wrapped up Sunday (Feb. 28). Two Tigers took home championships while five earned All-MIAA honors. FHSU posted one automatic qualifying mark and two provisional marks on Sunday while picking up 56.5 team points, enough to match its best-ever finish at the event.

Alexandra Hart<\/a> won the high jump competition after again surpassing the NCAA Division II automatic qualifying mark. The freshman cleared a height of 5-9.25 while finishing first in the high jump for the fifth time in five tries this season. Hart cleared the bar on her first attempt at each of the five heights she cleared.

After breaking a pair of school records Saturday, Lyric Holman<\/a> matched one of those marks while earning one title and three All-MIAA honors on Sunday. Holman placed first in the 60m finals, matching her school-record time of 7.59. She then finished third in the 200m finals, crossing the line in 25 seconds flat. The junior rounded out the day with another podium finish, this time in the 4x400m relay with Emily Salmans<\/a>, Taylor Savolt<\/a> and Mattie Rossi<\/a>. The Tigers teamed up to post a time of 3:51.98, good for third place.

Salmans also earned multiple All-MIAA accolades, placing third in the 800m finals with a time of 2:15.58. Faith Little<\/a> grabbed the Tigers an additional team point with an eighth-place finish in the race, posting a time of 2:20.26.

Savolt helped the Tiger team score in the field events as well, placing sixth in the triple jump with a clearance of 38-9.5, a mark that surpasses the NCAA Division II provisional mark.

Elsewhere in the field events, Summer Kragel<\/a> placed fifth in the high jump after clearing the 5-4.5 bar, grabbing FHSU 3.5 team points.

The Tigers will now wait to see who is selected to compete in the 2021 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships, set to be announced Tuesday (March 2). Those selected will compete in Birmingham, Ala. March 12-13. The Tigers recorded six provisional marks this season, including three that currently rank in the top 13 in the country.
