Woods' Krislynn Bailey first to compete for NAIA track title
Feb. 23—Terre Haute North High School graduate Krislynn Bailey will represent Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in the NAIA women's track and field indoor championships next Friday in South Dakota.
The Woods' senior pole-vaulter's berth in the field was revealed by the NAIA on Friday. Bailey becomes the first SMWC student-athlete to compete at an NAIA indoor track and field national championship.
Bailey is the No. 25 seed in the field after vaulting to a school-record 11 feet, 4 1/2 inches at the Rose-Hulman Friday Night Spikes Meet on Jan. 19. Last weekend, Bailey finished second at the River States Conference championships with a mark of 11-0 3/4.
In the classroom, Bailey is an elementary-education major and a Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Scholar.
Bailey will compete in the NAIA championships at 3 p.m. next Friday at the Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Complex in Brookings, S.D.
