Jaynie Halterman of Taylor successfully defends her NAIA 5000m Indoor Title and also clocks the first sub-16 effort indoors for NAIA women at the NAIA Indoor Championships!

+ Emmanuel LeBlond started a petition for an investigation that now has 500+ signatures from XCTF athletes from all 3 NCAA divisions supporting him.

I wish I could’ve stayed for Day 2 😭
Gonna have to fact check myself after the rest of conferences are done but so far it’s looking like Penn State Men and Ashland Women are the only squads to sweep medals at their respective conferences.
