Junior Tia Harris (Newton Falls) broke a 10-year-old school record in the shot put and the 4x400-meter relay team shattered the school record to lead the Ohio Northern women's indoor track and field team at the Polar Bear Final Qualifier at the Sports Center.

No team scores were kept in the meet.

After narrowly missing the school record on multiple occasions this season, Harris' final toss of 41' 9.25" in the shot put at the Final Qualifier broke the school record.

Harris finished fourth in the event.

The 4x400-meter relay team of juniors Taylor Fisher (Wapakoneta), Avery Ewing(Kokomo, Ind./Eastern), sophomore Taylor Lavey (New Baltimore, Mich./Findlay) and senior Emily Richards (Delaware/Hayes) capped the meet off in style, breaking the school record by just under two seconds and finishing first in the event in 3:56.22.
