Oregon’s Kemba Nelson & Arkansas’s Jada Baylark look to hook up again in fast 100s. (ERROL ANDERSON/THE SPORTING IMAGE)
THIS ANNUAL NCAA DIVISION I-oriented compilation was cut back to only 10 deep last year in the wake of pandemic uncertainties. But here we are back at 20, listed in order of their PRs.
Marks are as of February 01. Only wind-legal marks are included. The column on the right is the athlete’s finish in the ’21 NCAA Outdoor Championships. If she didn’t compete in the meet (which includes the rounds held in the Regionals), then the Indoor Champs finish (“i”) is given. A slash followed by another number/letter indicates competition in a different event. The highest returning finisher from last year’s meet are highlighted in bold..
Symbols: h = heat; qf = quarterfinal; sf = semi; fs = false start; rs = redshirt; hs = high school; int = international; jc = junior college; inj = injured; dnf = did not finish; dnc = didn’t compete at Nationals/Regionals; dnq = didn’t advance from Regionals field-event qualifying; (A) = altitude-aided mark (over 1000m); ‘ = not eligible for Team USA.
Classes (outdoors): *** = frosh; ** = soph; * = juniors; all others are seniors. Note that there is some confusion over classes at this point because not all schools are reporting classes the same way. Some are using academic standing, others athletic eligibility. The classes we list represent what we believe to be the athlete’s remaining outdoor eligibility.
