JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Indiana track and field team wrapped up its stay at the NCAA East Prelims on Saturday (May 27) following four days of competition on the campus of North Florida.
Jayden Ulrich (15th) and Sarah Schmitt (16th) narrowly missed out on bids in the discus and 5000 meters respectively. Ulrich, already a qualifier in the shot put, threw the discus 51.58m/169-3 on the final attempt of her series.
Schmitt, following consecutive years finishing 40th at this same meet, clocked a mark of 16:06.04 in her final collegiate race. It was her best time ever in the 5000 meters at a postseason competition, either indoors or outdoors.
Her fifth year at IU ends having placed fifth in the Big Ten and qualified for nationals in Cross Country, securing a runner-up finish in the 5K indoors at the Big Ten Championships and running a program top-five time outdoors over 5000 meters.
Mahogany Jenkins began her weekend on Saturday, competing in both the high jump (1.72m/5-7.75) and the triple jump (12.52m/41-1).
Alyssa Skorge finished six spots above her seeded entry mark in the 3000-meter steeplechase, running 10:34.75 to finish 30th in the final race of her career.
IU finishes the weekend with five entries to next month's NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin. Ulrich (shot put), Nathan Stone (pole vault), Tyler Carrel (pole vault), Noah Koch (discus) and Paola Fernandez-Sola (long jump) will all continue their seasons at the national meet from June 7-10.
