Light Blue Skies in Arkansas


Three Ivy Leaguers — all sophomores from Columbia University — have gotten the nod to compete at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend.

Indoor Heps Athlete of the Meet Sharay Hale will compete in the 400-meter dash, Monique Roberts (pictured) in the high jump and Kyle Merber in the mile. Hale’s Heps flat-track time in the 400m converted to 53.09 for ranking purposes, which places her 10th. Roberts cleared 5-11 1/2 earlier in the season, which is ranked 15th.

Merber, who became the Heps recordholder in the indoor mile last week, is the lone Ivy male representative at the Championships. He is ranked sixth in the 16-person field. Truly remarkable is that all 16 have run sub-four this winter! For the men’s complete entry list, please click here.
