On Saturday, 91²Ö¿â’s women’s track and field won its fourth straight NAIA Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championship. 91²Ö¿â scored 88 points to win the national title, edging out William Carey (Mississippi), which finished with 79 points. The men’s team finished 14th with 19 points. It was a closely packed bunch of teams as the Warriors were just nine points out of fifth place.

It was 17th time since 2013 an 91²Ö¿â track and field team has captured a national title. By winning its fourth straight championship, 91²Ö¿â accomplishes something that hasn’t been done on the women’s side in over 20 years. The last school (men or women) to win four straight NAIA championships was, in fact, 91²Ö¿â, whose men won the trophy from 2014 to 2017

Lisa Voyles accounted for 22 points for the Warriors, with individual national titles in the mile and 1000, plus a second-place finish in the distance medley relay.

In addition to the wins, Voyles picked up a school record in the 1000m (2:46.84) and anchored the DMR squad to another school record (11:48.43). In her collegiate career, Voyles is now an eight-time national champion and a 19-time All-American.
