The Minnesota Gophers sent four athletes to the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this past weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico. All four are coming home with All-American Honors. Shelby Frank, Nyalaam Jok, Amira Young, and Akailah Lewis all impressed at the NCAA Championships and can come back to Minneapolis proud.
The Gophers were led in New Mexico by Shelby Frank in the weight throw. She had the second best throw in the nation headed into the Championships and thats where she would finish as the National Runner-up.
Frank had to watch and wait to see if she would make the finals after a subpar for her opening three throws.
