University of Wyoming junior Shayla Howell is one of just eight athletes from the Mountain West Conference to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.
Howell, who is from Colony but attended high school in Spearfish, South Dakota, won the long jump at last week's MW Championships with a leap of 21 feet, 4.75 inches. The mark, which set a new program record, is the 10th-best jump in the nation this indoor season.
LSU sophomore Jasmine Moore has the best mark in the nation with a jump of 22-01.75.
