Glad we got this unplanned photo taken last night after the prelim…the weather deteriorated on us in a hurry today and we had to split before taking the usual group photos…what a fantastic foursome this has been!

Ladies and gentlemen, the #DoaneTF women's 4x100 relay team…extremely tense just prior to their prelim victory today Just the right amount of goofy? Yes. Very, very fast and dedicated to their mission? Also yes. Posing in the wrong order? Certainly. @WemhoffLiz, RaeAnn Thompson, @neryah_12, @TaniaGleason2

#DoaneTF's @katv157 ⬇️⬇️⬇️🐯💪

It was a magic night for @katv157 under the lights Wednesday at the #DoaneNWUdual; she left the #DoaneTF record book in tatters again, lowering Sandrae Farquharson's previous 400-meter mark by nearly a second with a jaw-dropping :53.32… Kat's NAIA chart-leading time (current table shown below) took place in near-perfect conditions in a race that also saw teammate @TaniaGleason2 post a :56.07 debut that sent her to No. 10 on the national list. Fellow Tigers @kileyhejtmanek1 (:57.66) and @Jaydenmeyer2006 (:57.99) came within tiny fractions of their own personal bests. As of today, Vogt's 400 time stands at No. 64 on the U.S. all-college list for 2026. That Tiger quartet returned scarcely 90 minutes later to produce a winning 4x400 relay effort in 3:49.38, good for No. 5 on the '26 NAIA list and just a fraction off the automatic national meet qualifying standard. The Wednesday meet, moved up two days to avoid likely rain forecast for Friday of this week, took place just 48 hours after the Tigers competed in the postponed #ConcordiaInvite Monday. #DoaneTF swept the scored Wednesday meet, outscoring the Prairie Wolves 122-56 on the women's side while the men prevailed by a slim 93-86 margin. After two meets in a three-day span, the Tigers will have a full week to prepare for their lone home meet of the season, the #DutcherClassic, scheduled for April 16-18 at Lauritsen Track.

So, you know @Danie_Parriott and @katv157 and @kileyhejtmanek1 and @Jaydenmeyer2006 and @TaniaGleason2, the newly-minted #DoaneTF national champions in the 4x400 relay. You may not know The Lady in Black standing with them after Saturday's awards presentation. That's Doane sprint coach @AnnikaPingel, the Tigers' Architect of Speed. She's the one who writes and supervises the workouts — motivates, cajoles and counsels — and makes it possible for it to all come out like it did yesterday. Nice going, Annika. I'd say, "Enjoy Spring Break," but I rather imagine she'll be giving considerable thought to outdoor season over the next several days…

There's no question that there exists quite a constellation of stars on the #DoaneTF women's team, and certainly no team can rise to sixth place in the final standings with one person's efforts…but before the vivid memories of this week begin to fade into history, let's appreciate the level of consistency and quality of @katv157's performances last week in Gainesville: Thursday — 4x400 semi, :54.88 split Friday — 400 semifinal, :54.91, then 200 semifinal, :24.71 (PR) Saturday — 400 final, :54.40 (3rd place, new school record), then a :55.00 split on the opening carry of the Tigers' national title 4x400 relay I've been in this business for a while, folks. There's a remarkably talented and dedicated woman.

#NAIATrack women's 400 meters final: #DoaneTF's @katv157 is All-America again, placing third and eclipsing her own school record again with a time of :54.40
