BOSTON, Mass. - Clearing a height of 4.90 meters (16 ft. - 0.75 in.), LeTourneau University men's track and field sophomore Alex Hindman became the first All-American track athlete in school history by taking sixth place at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Boston Massachusetts on Friday, March 8th. 

Hindman would be joined by teammates Austin Parrish (11th) and Jack Miller (16th) at the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships, as the trio would all compete in the championship event. 

Hindman would manage to clear heights of 4.75 meters, 4.85 meters, and 4.90 meters before being unable to clear the bar set at 5.00 meters after taking a pass at 4.95 meters. Parrish would pass on the opening height of 4.45 meters and clear his first attempt at 4.60 meters before clearing his final attempt at 4.75 meters to finish just outside the top-10. 

Competing for the first-time at an NCAA Division III Championship, Miller would be able to clear 4.45 meters on his first attempt before missing out on all three attempts at 4.60 meters to finish 16th in the nation among pole vaulters during the indoor season. 

The trio will now turn their attention to the 2019 outdoor season, and will next be in action on Friday, March 22nd at the East Texas Quadrangular hosted by Texas A&M Commerce.
