DURANGO, Colo. – Junior Hannah Hartwell will once again represent Fort Lewis College on the national stage when she competes in the 3k and 5k at the 2025 NCAA DII Indoor Track & Field Championships in Indianapolis.

Catch the Action
The 2025 NCAA DII Championships Festival will feature track & field, swimming & diving, and men's wrestling, all hosting their championships this weekend in Indianapolis. This event marks the first time the NCAA Indoor Championships will take place at the new Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion, which recently hosted the Big Ten Championships in its inaugural season. Fans can watch the track & field championships live on NCAA.com, while live results, entries, and heat sheets are available online.

Those looking to watch the races in Durango can catch the action at the Soaps & Suds Tavern at 100 Jenkins Ranch Road A, Durango, CO 81301.

What to Watch – Thursday's 5k (4:15 p.m. MST)
Hartwell begins her championships in the 5k, ranked third with a seed time of 16:08.22. She comes in behind a pair of Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) distance aficionados in Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge (Mines, 15:40.98) and Tristian Spence (Adams State, 15:53.52). The field of 18 is heavily represented by league opponents with athletes from Mines, Adams State, and UCCS making up six of the entries.

What to Watch – Saturday's 3k (2:40 p.m. MST)
Hartwell is the 18^th-ranked entry in the 3k finals on Saturday with a seed time of 9:31.07. Once again, the RMAC is heavily represented in the field. Three of the top five competitors hail from the conference with eight total RMAC runners competing in the race. Hartwell is coming off First-Team All-Conference honors in the 3k at last week's championships where she placed third.

Criteria for All-American Honors
The top eight finishers in each event will be awarded All-American honors. Hartwell enters the championships with a knack for snagging awards since joining the Skyhawks one year ago. In her first outdoor track season, she burst onto the scene with a fifth-place, All-American performance in the 10k after entering the race ranked 18^th. In her debut cross country season in the blue and gold, she crossed the line in fifth place in a field of 261 student-athletes. Her time of 20:34.9 was one second off the program record.
