Senior Christina Hillman finished first in the shot put with a mark of 56-feet-2.75-inches, earning a return to Eugene, Ore., on June 10-13 for nationals after taking the title there a year ago.
Hillman is the fifth ISU athlete who qualified to compete in Eugene, joining freshman Jhoanmy Luque, sophomore Marine Vallet, redshirt senior Katy Moen and senior Kendra White.
Luque started day three of regionals for the Cyclones, finishing 19th in the triple jump and falling short of qualifying for nationals in the event.
