Fort Hays State will be well represented at the 2018 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field National Championships as four Tigers have been selected to compete. The championships will be held on the campus of Pittsburg State University March 9-10.

Heading to nationals for FHSU will be Decano Cronin, Sam Dreiling, Brett Meyer and Jake Morrow. The four athletes all hold national rankings to their name in their individual events.

Cronin heads into the championships at No. 4 in Division II in the 800-meter run. With his best mark of 1:49.45, which was good for an automatic at the MIAA Indoor Championships last week, Cronin looks to better his time again on the big stage. Also competing on the track is Meyer who boasts a No. 22 national ranking in the mile run, reaching a 4:06.07 time. This will be the second-straight national appearance for both Cronin and Meyer.

Dreiling heads back to Pittsburg with a No. 9 ranking on the national performance list in the event with a mark of 16 feet, 8 ¾ inches. For Morrow, he comes in with the thirteenth best height in the nation at 16 feet, 7 ¼ inches.
