INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) will be well represented at the 2026 NCAA Division III Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championships, as standout student-athletes from Calvin University, Hope College, and Trine University prepare to compete on the national stage March 13–14 at the Birmingham CrossPlex in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Southern Athletic Association and the Birmingham CrossPlex will serve as hosts for the national meet. For each individual event contested — including the pentathlon — the top 20 declared student-athletes earned entry into the championships, while the top 12 declared relay teams (limited to one per institution) qualified in relay events.
The MIAA’s national qualifiers feature a strong mix of sprinters, middle-distance runners, distance specialists, and field event competitors, with several entering the meet among the top seeds in their respective events.
Calvin senior Sydney Radigan will compete in both the 60m and 200m dashes. Radigan enters the 60m dash seeded tied-for-11th with a time of 7.57, while she leads the national field in the 200m dash after posting a 23.62 this season.
Hope senior Sara Schermerhorn will also compete in multiple sprint events. Schermerhorn is seeded first in the 400m dash with a time of 54.54 and enters the 200m dash seeded third at 24.00, positioning her as one of the meet’s top contenders in both events.
The MIAA will also be represented in the mile run by two of the conference’s top distance athletes. Trine senior Bailey Puckett enters the event seeded fourth after clocking a time of 4:49.53, while Hope senior Molly Durow qualified with a 4:51.81 and is seeded 13th.
Calvin senior Sophie Bull will compete in two events at the national championships. Individually, Bull is seeded 11th in the 3000m run with a time of 9:36.95. She will also anchor Calvin’s distance medley relay team alongside freshmen Emma Wierenga and Alison Bailey, and sophomore Peyton Ludwig. The quartet enters the championships seeded eighth with a time of 11:37.72.
In the field events, Calvin freshman Dasha Mason will represent the conference in the triple jump. Mason qualified with a mark of 11.85m and enters her first national meet tied-for-11th.
With several athletes entering the meet among the top seeds nationally, the MIAA contingent will look to translate strong regular-season performances into All-America honors at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships. From explosive sprint races to distance battles and field event competition, the conference’s qualifiers will showcase the strength of MIAA women’s indoor track and field on the national stage in Birmingham.
