Posted: Apr 05, 2022

Ottumwa, IA – The Indian Hills Women's Track & Field program received a pair of Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday. Freshman Haleigh Hadley (Gilbert, IA/Gilbert) and the women's 4x100-meter relay squad were both honored by the conference office.

The Warriors became the first school this season to be recognized twice in the same week by the ICCAC as Hadley's individual efforts and the relay squad's performance highlighted at an action-packed weekend at the Friends University Spring Open in Wichita, KS.

Hadley, an All-American during the indoor season for Indian Hills, put together a record-breaking performance in the high jump to finish first overall. In the 18-athlete field, Hadley recorded the best mark at 1.67-meters to set a new Indian Hills standard and now holds the No. 7 mark overall in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) this year.

The Warriors brought home another first-place finish and school record behind the efforts of Kahliyah Anderson (Texarkana, TX/Texas), Janyla Hoskins (Dubuque, IA/Dubuque Hempstead), Kayla McCray (Miami, FL/North Miami), and Antiana Walsh (Wausau, WI/Wassau East) in the 4x100-meter. For the second consecutive week, the Warrior quartet broke the school record, this time with a mark of 45.69 to set a new school record. The time now ranks No. 2 overall in the NJCAA this year, just .30 seconds behind the top team in the nation, Hinds Community College (MS), which was set on the same day as the Warriors' mark.

 The Warriors are back in Wichita, KS this weekend for the KT Woodman Classic at Cessna Stadium April 8-9.
