Topeka, KS – The Indian Hills Women's Track & Field squad opened the 2024-25 campaign with a number of impressive showings on Saturday at the Washburn Alumni Invitational.

Returning All-American Dymonde Nave (Sioux Falls, SD/Sioux Falls Lincoln) starred for the Warriors with a record-breaking performance in the women's 60-meter hurdles. The Indian Hills school record holder in the event, Nave dashed to a first-place time of 8.65 to set a new meet and Indian Hills program record. Nave shattered her previous personal best mark by 0.11 to take the top honors.

Nave, the national runner-up in the women's 100-meter hurdles at last year's National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Outdoor National Championship, has now set the meet record at the Washburn Invite in each of the last two seasons. Nave improved on last year's mark by 0.28 seconds.
