Anna Schueller will look to bring points to the Huskies from the women’s pole vault, where she ranks seventh in the league with her season-opener height of 11-10. She finished seventh last year after clearing 11-1.

Ashley Plum will have a busy championship meet running the 200m, 400m and a leg of the 4x400m relay. She placed seventh in the 200m dash a season ago, running personal-bests of 25.68 for 200m and 58.88 in the 400m.

Sam Lange will look to repeat as a podium finisher, taking runner-up honors in the 1,500m behind teammate Clayton Sayen, who won the event for the second-consecutive championships while lowering his meet record with his winning time of 3:47.22 in 2023.
