Trinity High Jumper Receives Provisional Qualifying Mark

Houston, Texas – Trinity sophomore Todd Wildman has earned an NCAA Division III men’s indoor high jump provisional qualifying mark.

Wildman finished in a tie for eighth place Saturday at the University of Houston Invitational with a jump of 6 feet, 7.50 inches (2.02 meters). He became Trinity’s first men’s qualifier in the NCAA Division III high jump event. The performance also established a school record, as the previous mark was 6-06.00 set by Matt Lonesk in 1997.

The NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships are slated for March 9-10 at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Ind. Official invitations will be issued, March 5.

Trinity has a history of high jump success. Christyn Schumann, who graduated last May, won one women’s NCAA indoor and three outdoor championships.

The Tigers’ head track and field coach is Jenny Breuer and the high jump coach is Ziggy Szelagowicz.
