NORTHFIELD, Minn. – In its first indoor meet as a full team in nearly two years, the St. Olaf College women's track and field team won six events and had six runner-up showings at the Ole Opener on Friday evening at the Tostrud Center.

St. Olaf won four events on the track and a pair of field events in its first home indoor meet since Feb. 21, 2020. The Oles also had two student-athletes break into the program's all-time top-10 list and one more improve her standing on the list.

Junior Annika Muller won the triple jump with a mark of 10.56 meters (34' 7 ¾") and also moved into St. Olaf's all-time list in the 60-meter dash with a time of 8.35 seconds in the prelims. Muller's time in the prelims was one one-hundredth of a second behind that of sophomore Karla Kroschel, who moved into eighth on the Oles' list with her prelims time of 8.35 seconds before finishing third (8.37).

Kroschel also won the 200-meter dash in 27.45 seconds, leading a group of five St. Olaf runners who made up the top-five finishers in the event. First year Emma Storbakken was the runner-up to Kroschel in 28.50 seconds. Similarly, sophomore Ali Seaton paced a group of Oles who finished 1-6 in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 3:13.24, finishing roughly two seconds ahead of classmate Katie Gebert.

Storbakken and Kroschel made up half of St. Olaf's first-place 4x400-meter relay, teaming up with sophomore Ququ Holman and first year Emma Sahly to finish over six seconds ahead of the top Carleton relay in 4:17.33.

Junior Rebekah Salfer won the 60-meter hurdles by nearly a second with a time of 9.49 seconds, while sophomore Aleah Keske had the top throw in the shot put with a mark of 10.09 meters (33' 1 ¾").
