INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. –  Three members of the Black Hills State University track and field teams have qualified for the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the NCAA announced on Tuesday. The meet will be held in Kingsville, Texas, on May 23-25.

Jonah Theisen will compete in two events, looking to cap off an already successful career as a Yellow Jacket. The senior from Kenai, Alaska, will appear in the 3000m steeplechase as well as the 5000 meters. He won the national championship in the steeplechase in 2016, and won the event at the RMAC Championships this year. This will be Theisen's first national appearance in the 5k. This will be his ninth appearance at a national meet, having qualified in cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field.  

Whitney Scott and Jordyn Huneke will compete in the pole vault at the national championships. Scott, a sophomore from Watertown, S.D., currently holds the school record in the pole vault, and has made the meet for the second consecutive year. Huneke, a sophomore from Rapid City, S.D., will compete in the pole vault at nationals for the third time after making it in this year's indoor season, placing sixth, and competing as a freshman in the outdoor season.
