Bobcat Duo Flies South for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships

High jumper Lucy Corbett and distance runner Duncan Hamilton will compete on day two of the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships this Saturday.
BOZEMAN, Mont. – This Saturday, Lucy Corbett and Duncan Hamilton will compete in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, which will take place at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M. on March 11.
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+.
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.
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 and his eighth at an NCAA Championship event, 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. 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. Last year, he earned All-American honors in the 3,000 meters and placed 10th.
From here, the duo will shift their focus to the outdoor track season, which starts in California at the Redlands Invitational and the Franson Classic on March 17 and 18, respectively. All meet information can be found on the men's and women's track team's schedule pages at msubobcats.com.
