T&F: Year in Review

STANFORD, Calif. -- The COVID-19 pandemic ended the track and field season one day before the start of the NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and forced the outdoor season to be canceled.

On the bright side, nine Cardinal – five women and four men -- were named All-American by the USTFCCCA for reaching the NCAA Indoor Championships under first-year coach J.J. Clark, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of Track and Field.

Among other highlights, Ashlan Best twice broke the school indoor record in the women's 400, Dorien Simon twice broke the school freshman men's 60 mark, and Ella Donaghu, Jessica Lawson, and Jordan Oakes went 1-2-3 in the mile at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships.

Donaghu broke the school record for a mile on a regulation-sized indoor track – a time that was bettered by teammate Julia Heymach on an oversized track – and ran Stanford's fastest indoor women's 3,000 in 37 years.

In addition, Stanford qualified for NCAA's in the men's distance medley relay for the 11th consecutive year.
