In D1 indoor track and field, only the top 16 fastest, farthest or highest marks in each event qualify for the national championships. For Missouri, that means two Tigers will be among the nation’s top competitors in Boston this weekend. Alicia Burnett will race the 60-meter dash, and Sterling Scott will compete in the triple jump. The meet will stream live on ESPN+.
Alicia Burnett:
What a difference .22 seconds can make. Last season, Burnett’s fastest indoor dash was 7.43 seconds, which didn’t crack consideration for NCAAs. This season is a whole other story. Burnett shattered her personal best (and broke the school record) to earn her a lane in Boston.
