The Wolf Pack track and field team had a strong showing at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Championships in Brookings, South Dakota.
Marcus Brown, Jordyn Minor, and Eleanor Sherman represented Loyola, competing against top athletes in the NAIA.
Brown competed in the 600-meter run, finishing 28th with a time of 1:26.04, which ranks among the top five times in Loyola’s history.
Sherman finished 28th in the long jump with a jump of 4.86 meters.
Minor achieved a top-10 finish in long jump with a jump of 5.47 meters, ranking fifth in Loyola’s history. She also holds three of the top-five spots in the record book, including the program’s best distance.
“For nationals, I truly wanted to just have fun and compete to the best of my ability. So mentally, I wanted to remove all the pressure that I often put myself under, and just enjoy the experience, especially as a freshman,” Minor said. “I really focused on just trusting my practice and preparation that got me there.”
With the indoor season wrapped up, the Wolf Pack is now looking ahead to the outdoor season. They will start the season at the South Alabama Invitational on Friday, March 15, in Mobile, Alabama.
