VIRGINIA BEACH, V.A. – Zoe Pentecost,
Sabrina Robison, and
Brittney Clark kicked off action for the UIndy indoor track & field teams on Friday afternoon at the 2023 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships held at the Virginia Beach Sports Center.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Pentecost got things started on day one for the Hounds in the women's weight throw. On her first toss of the afternoon, she landed a throw of 20.05 meters which ended up being her best of her six total attempts. This would eventually finish her in third place for a podium spot and All-America honors. Pentecost has now made the weight throw podium twice in her indoor career as she corralled a seventh-place finish last year.

The final two Hounds competing on Saturday were Robison and Clark in the women's pole vault. The strong duo held steady and cleared 3.95 meters which then raised the bar up to 4.05 meters. Clark would bow out at this height which eventually landed her in a tie for ninth, just barely missing the podium alongside All-America honors. As for Robison, she went over 4.05 meters on her first try and would eventually fall short trying 4.10 meters a little later. Despite this, she went on to notch fourth in the event and was tabbed as an All-American in the process.
