VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. – Embry-Riddle will send seven members of its men's and women's indoor track and field teams to the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field National Championships, setting a school record for the most qualifiers in program history at the indoor meet.

Qualifying for the championships requires athletes to meet a provisional standard set by the NCAA within the qualifying window while also ranking among the top 18 marks or times in the nation. In some cases, selections may extend beyond the top 18 if athletes choose to focus on a single event, allowing the NCAA to fill the full field of 18 competitors.
Official qualifying lists were announced Tuesday, March 3.

NCAA QUALIFIERS

• Mikaela Miles will compete at her fourth NCAA Indoor Championship in the triple jump. Over the course of her four-year career at Embry-Riddle, Miles has improved her mark from 11.98 m to 12.83 m, the current program record. After finishing third at last season's championship, she will look to capture her first national title. Miles currently ranks No. 2 in the nation entering the meet.
• Taylor Roth qualified for her first NCAA Indoor Championship and will compete in the 800 m. Roth is part of an Embry-Riddle 800 m squad that ranks ninth nationally in Division II. Her team-leading time of 2:08.84, recorded at the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational, ranks 15th in Division II.
• Allegra Triner has made major strides in her sophomore season and will make her first appearance at a national championship. Triner improved her personal record in the 800 m by more than eight seconds from her freshman season. Her time of 2:09.22 secured her spot in the national field.
