Maintaining the momentum from Amelia Campbell’s record-setting performance on Thursday, the Carleton College women’s indoor track and field team registered five more All-MIAC performances plus a trio of all-conference honorable mention results during Friday’s action.

The epitome of NCAA Division III athletics is the commitment to fostering well-rounded growth and development through a combined educational and athletic experience. At the Division III level, student-athletes are committed to their sport, but they pride themselves on their wide-ranging talents in addition to their commitment to the pursuit of their degree. Many also immerse themselves in on-campus clubs and activities, and involvement in the community. When it comes to track and field, Carleton's Amelia Campbell is the embodiment of that well-rounded Division III philosophy.
