NCAA Indoor National Championship - Women

Athlete	College	High School	Event	Performance	Place
Tyra Gittens	Texas A&M	Ensworth	Pentathlon	4746	1st

It's Tyra's World and we're all just living in it. The Ensworth graduate stole the show last weekend breaking the collegiate indoor pentathlon record, winning the high jump, and placing third in the long jump all while leading the Aggie squad to a runner up finish at the NCAA Indoor National Championships.

I'm a simp for you @gittens_tyra

Simply incredible. I could spend more time on bragging about Tyra and her accomplishments but you can read about those here if you want more insight on the depth of her greatness.

Loral Winn was the only other Native Tennessee competitor in Fayetteville last weekend helping the Ole Miss Women place 8^th in the DMR. She had a busy couple of days as you'll see later in this report.
