ST. PAUL, Minn. – Senior Annika Muller earned her third all-conference accolade in the triple jump to lead the St. Olaf College women's track and field team's performances on the first full day of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday at the Leonard Center.

Muller took third in the triple jump for the lone All-MIAC performance of the day for St. Olaf, which registered 10 Honorable Mention All-MIAC results on the day. The Oles compiled 61.5 points in the team standings to sit in fourth place, trailing Bethel University (71), Carleton College (66.5), and the College of Saint Benedict (62).

Muller, the 2020 conference champion and the 2022 runner-up in the event, placed third in the triple jump with a mark of 11.62 meters (38' 1 ½") by breaking her own school record of 11.48 meters (37' 8") established earlier this season. The senior finished just one centimeter behind Journey Amundson of Macalester College and eight centimeters behind Ellie Hernes of Bethel University, who won the event on her final jump. Junior Ainslee Parker also scored in the event with a seventh-place finish of 10.65 meters (34' 11 ¼").

Four Oles scored in the one-mile run, as St. Olaf swept the three Honorable Mention All-MIAC spots behind a 4-5-6 finish from senior Christine Albrecht, sophomore Sophie Abernethy, and first year Grace Moeller. Albrecht was fourth (5:09.22), Abernethy took fifth (5:16.71), and Moeller crossed the line in sixth (5:18.89), while first year Molly Kate McCloskey was eighth (5:37.12).

St. Olaf also had three scorers in the 5,000-meter run, including honorable mention showings from sophomores Sofia Carlson and Alison Bode, who were part of a group of top-five finishers who all broke the previous championship record. Carlson posted a fourth-place finish (17:12.02), followed closely by Bode in fifth (17:13.20), while first year Lauren Walda was two spots back of Bode in seventh (17:57.40). Bode's time moved her up from third to second – behind only Carlson – on St. Olaf's all-time list in the event.

Senior Julia Cordes and junior Melanie Roberts both placed in the top five in the pole vault to earn Honorable Mention All-MIAC honors. Cordes finished fourth (3.10m, 10' 2") and Roberts tied for fifth (2.90m, 9' 6 ¼"), as Cordes broke into the top 10 in program history in the event in ninth.

After placing second in the pentathlon on Friday, senior Rebekah Salfer logged a fifth-place showing in the 60-meter hurdles, clocking in at 9.42 seconds in the finals to collect Honorable Mention All-MIAC laurels. The senior was third in the prelims with a time of 9.27 seconds to win the first heat and earn a spot in the final.

Moeller added a second honorable mention finish on the day with a sixth-place finish in the 800-meter run (2:24.13). The Oles closed out the night with a fourth-place honorable mention performance in the distance medley relay (12:52.02) with the quartet of Abernethy, first year Abbie Manhard, junior Olivia Edstrom, and first year Ella Landis.
