Ten Gophers will represent the Maroon & Gold at the NCAA Indoor Championships this week.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Ten representatives from the Golden Gopher track & field program are scheduled to compete at the 2021 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships hosted by the University of Arkansas this Thursday through Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.
Gophers at NCAA Indoors
Both Alec Basten and Amira Young will compete in two events to lead the Gophers. In total, six Gophers earned eight entries into individual events, and Minnesota's women's 4x400-meter relay team rounds out the nine total accepted entries for the Maroon & Gold. Basten will race the 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters while Young will run both the 60 meters and 200 meters after winning both events at the Big Ten Championships last weekend.
The Maroon & Gold have representatives from both genders in the 5,000 meters and weight throw as B1G 3,000-meter champion Bethany Hasz will run the women's 5,000 meters along with Basten in the men's race. Big Ten champion Tess Keyzers and Big Ten runner-up Kaleb Siekmeier are both set to compete in the weight throw as well.
Allison Gerads will make her NCAA Championships debut in the pentathlon after winning the Big Ten title with a career-best 4,088 points in the event, and the Gophers' women's 4x400-meter relay team of Jayla Campbell, Janielle Josephs, Val Larson, and Abigail Schaaffe rounds out Minnesota's entries after winning the B1G crown in a season-best 3:35.51, good for second in program history.
