After helping her team record the fifth-fastest 4×100 relay in collegiate history earlier in the day, the redshirt freshman clocked a 10.63 (+1.9) to claim the fifth-fastest time in world history. She rounded out her career day by grabbing the top qualifying spot in the 200 meters with a 21.96. 

Another NCAA record was shattered later in the day by Washington’s Amanda Moll. The Huskie cleared 4.84 meters to set a new collegiate record and clinch the 2026 title over her sister, Hana Moll – the indoor champion of the event. 

Moll’s performance marks the highest outdoor clearance in the world this year.
