Porter punches ticket to NCAA Outdoor National Championships
Indiana State sophomore Ryann Porter secured a place in the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships Saturday evening at the Robert C. Haugh Track & Field Complex, earning the final spot in the women's triple jump.
Porter, who will be making her second appearance in the championships after also making the field in 2021, had a top mark of 12.90m (42-04.00) in the event.
She finished tied for 12th with Appalachian State's Jada Branch and advanced by virtue of her second-best mark (12.60m/41-04.25) being better than that of the Mountaineer jumper (fouled other two attempts).
This year's run for Porter had a similar feel to the 2021 NCAA East Preliminary, where she also qualified as the final spot in the triple jump with her best wind-legal mark of the season.
Porter's top mark Saturday was her top wind-legal mark of the season and her second-best mark in all conditions.
The mark is also her second-best wind legal mark in her Sycamore career, trailing only her mark at last year's NCAA East Preliminary.
Up Next
Porter will head to Eugene, Oregon, for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships, slated for June 8-11 at Hayward Field.
