ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Stanford sprinters, hurdlers, and field-event athletes compete Friday and Saturday at the New Mexico Collegiate Classic indoor track and field meet at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Garrett Brown and Alyssa Jones are past NCAA indoor qualifiers who are seeking to return – Brown in the men’s pole vault and Jones in the women’s high jump. Jones, a four-time NCAA first-time All-American in the long jump, is making her season high jump debut. She was 15th at NCAA’s in that event last year. Brown was eighth at NCAA indoors in 2023 and qualified in 2024.
Two Cardinal in particular are looking to place themselves in the hunt for NCAA berths, in which the top 16 marks in the country qualify. Tess Stapleton sits at No. 33 in the women’s 60 hurdles (8.22, 8.24 with an altitude adjustment) and freshman Xavier Drumgoole is No. 34 in the men’s triple jump (51-1 ¾, 15.59 meters). Each will seek to improve upon those marks this weekend.
This is the third of four meets in Albuquerque that Stanford will participate in this indoor season. The Don Kirby Elite Invitational on Feb. 14-15 is the final one.
