For the second-straight season, the two Bozeman High School graduates will compete at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships
BOZEMAN, Mont. – For the second-straight season, Bozeman High School alumni Lucy Corbett and Duncan Hamilton have qualified for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, which will take place at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M. from March 10-11.
Both Corbett and Hamilton punched their tickets to the most difficult NCAA track championships to qualify for during a historically strong season for collegiate track and field. They rank in the top 16 in the high jump and the 3,000 meters, respectively, and both athletes earned All-American honors in the same events last season. Their events will take place on day two of the meet on Saturday, March 11; the meet will be live streamed on ESPN+.
Corbett is making her second appearance at the NCAA's indoor meet. This season, Corbett earned Big Sky Women's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week honors three times, won the high jump five times and never placed worse than second in her marquee event. She is coming off becoming just one of four athletes in Big Sky Conference history to four-peat in a single event. Her season-best of 1.85m (6-0.75) occurred at the Bobcat PReview meet in the season opener. At the NCAAs last season, Corbett placed eighth in the high jump.
Making his third appearance at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, Hamilton will cap off a successful indoor track season that included setting three school records (mile, 3,000, 5,000), winning two Big Sky Conference titles (distance medley relay, men's mile) and running personal bests in four different events. This will be Hamilton's eighth appearance at a NCAA Championship event between cross country, indoor and outdoor track. Hamilton ran an altitude-adjusted 7:43.28 at the Bobcat Challenge on Jan. 20, then ran a 7:44.90 at sea level to place third at the Husky Classic. He placed tenth in the same event at last year's indoor national championships.
Corbett's high jump will lead off the action for MSU on Saturday, March 11 at 1 p.m. MT, then Hamilton's 3,000-meter run will be the penultimate track event of the night at 8 p.m. MT. The meet will be live streamed on ESPN+, but two re-airs of the meet will occur on ESPNU: First at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 12, then at 5 p.m. on Monday, March 13. All meet information can be found on the men's and women's track team's schedule pages at msubobcats.com.
