Wayne State’s Michaela Dendinger was the NSIC High Point Performer after scoring 30 points in winning three events for the second year in a row in the conference outdoor track and field championships.

The five-time NSIC Field Athlete of the Week, Dendinger set a new NSIC record in the shot put with a heave of 16.52-meters (54-3.75) to surpass the 2015 mark of 16.05 set by Wayne State’s Sara Wells. In the hammer throw she threw 61.96-meters (203-3) and had a discus toss of 50.75-meters (166-6) to win both events.

The University of Mary returned to the top of the NSIC as it won the NSIC Championship behind an impressive performance at Paul Giel Field in Winona, Minnesota. The Marauders amassed 157 points to win by 47 points over second place Minnesota State. This marks the Marauders eighth NSIC Outdoor Women’s title and their first since 2015.
