On the women's side, Ashley Ramacher won women's high jump by clearing 1.71 meters (5-07.25 ft.) for her second high jump title of the season, and Jaycie Thomsen won the 5,000 meters in a career-best 17:00.23 to lead the Maroon & Gold at the University of Minnesota Fieldhouse.

2019 Track & Field Season Rewind
The Gophers wrapped up the 2019 track & field season with six All-Americans at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships led by two First Team All-Americans in Obsa Ali (3,000-meter steeplechase) and Temi Ogunrinde (hammer throw). Second Team All-America nods went to Alec Basten (3,000-meter steeplechase), Bethany Hasz (5,000-meter run), Tess Keyzers (shot put), and Kieran McKeag (hammer throw).
