EMPORIA, Kan. - Zoe Pentecost won the hammer throw at the NCAA DII Outdoor Track & Field Championships today. Along with Pentecost, Sabrina Robison and Alex Meyer from the UIndy men's and women's track & field teams also competed at nationals. Hosted by Emporia State in Emporia, Kan., the championships will continue for two more days, wrapping up on Saturday, May 25.
 
Pentecost entered the competition being ranked No. 1 overall in the hammer. The junior won the indoor version of this event (weight throw) at the 2024 Indoor Championships. On her third throw, Pentecost hit a mark of 61.39m. This ended up being her winning throw and finished 2.69m ahead of the second-place finisher. This also earned the Westfield, Ind. native her fourth All-American nod.
 
Robison competed in the pole vault for the hounds. The senior cleared 4.10m, earning her fifth place in the competition. Robison was also named an All-American for her top-eight finish for the second time in her career.
 
Meyer was the only male athlete to represent UIndy. The freshman, in his first national championship, competed in the long jump. On his first jump, Meyer reached 7.50m and advanced to the finals. The finals included the top nine student-athletes after three jumps. Meyer completed the competition with 7.50m, placing ninth overall, just short of All-American status.
 
This was the only day that the Greyhound competed in. The teams will await to see what place they will finish overall on Saturday.
