Feb 28, 2026 | Track & Field
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Tulane Green Wave women's team led after the first day of the American Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship, but the Wave was unable to hold on to the lead on Saturday and fell to fifth at the Birmingham Crossplex. Tulane, last season's conference champion, totaled 63 points across the meet.
North Texas won the championship with 90 points. Charlotte (82), Rice (77), and East Carolina (69) followed before Tulane in the standings.
Two Wave athletes claimed silver medals today, as Elena Liano-Rengel placed second in the mile with her time of 4:49.08. Reese Ragland just missed the podium, but she was fourth in the event with a time of 4:51.81. Blezzin Kimutai added to her medal collection, following her gold in yesterday's 5,000 meters with a silver in the 3,000 meters. Kimutai ran a time of 9:26.18 in the race.
Three other Tulane athletes scored today across their respective events. Jasper Newton placed sixth in the 800 meters final with a time of 2:11.09. In the 200 meters final, Zaria Parker ran a 24.36 to place eighth. Cara Salsberry also placed eighth in the weight throw, tossing 16.99m.
With the indoor season now complete, the outdoor campaign is next up and will begin on March 20 with the Louisiana Classics in Lafayette, Louisiana.
