SPOKANE, Wash. — Current BYU track and field athletes and alumni starred at the U.S.A. Track and Field Indoor Championships at The Podium over the weekend. 

Claire Seymour was the lone collegian racing in the women's 800m and finished eighth with a time of 2:04.22. This bolts Seymour up to a tie for eighth with Brooke Jaworski of No. 1 Texas in the NCAA Division I women's 800m standings.

Cougar pole vaulter Zach McWhorter finished third with a mark of 5.81m/19-0.75, just a millimeter shy of tying his school record.

McWhorter was one of only two collegians to compete and finished 0.2 meters ahead of Sam Houston State's Clayton Fritsch. 

BYU alumni and two-time NCAA Men's Cross Country National Champion Conner Mantz took fourth (7:49.43) in the men's 3000m in his third professional meet with Nike Running.
