Tiffin University's women's track and field squad performed well at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field National Championship Meet.

Mercedeez Francis was fourth in the high jump with a mark of 1.76 meters and teammate Marisa Gwinner finished seventh with a mark of 1.73 meters. Francis's mark is her best jump this season and matches her personal best mark set in the outdoor season last May at the NCAA National Outdoor Championships. Both performances earned the duo First Team All American honors.

Ines Macadam in her first national championship meet came in 13th in the 800m with a time of 2:10.92. The time is the second-fastest of Macadam's career, just behind her personal best of 2:10.66.

Rajiah Andrews also came in 13th in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.55. Her time matches her best time this season set earlier this year at the GMAC Championships.
