EUGENE, Ore. – Ryann Porter is set to become just the second female triple jumper in Indiana State history to compete at the NCAA Championships on Saturday at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
 
The freshman will compete in the women's triple jump at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 12. The event will be streamed live on ESPN3.
 
HISTORY MADE
When Porter enters the runway on Saturday evening, she will be just the second female Indiana State athlete to compete in the triple jump at the NCAA Championships in school history. Lauren Martin, the current school record holder, appeared in two NCAA Indoor Championships in 2009 (15th) and 2010 (5th), in addition to two appearances in the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2009 (10th) and 2010 (13th). She holds the school record with a leap of 13.53m (44-04.75).
 
AT THE EAST
Porter had a career day on the final afternoon of the NCAA East Preliminary round in Jacksonville, Fla., two weeks ago. Entering the competition seeded 22nd in the region, the freshman used her final jump of the competition to secure the last spot in the NCAA Championships, placing 12th with the second-best mark in school history of 13.12m (43-00.50).
 
SYCAMORE WOMEN AT THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Porter will be the 32nd Indiana State female to compete at an NCAA Championship for the Sycamore track and field program. In total, the Sycamore women have garnered 24 Indoor First Team All-American honors, one Indoor Second Team All-American honors, 21 Outdoor First Team All-American honors and seven Outdoor Second Team All-American honors. The Sycamore women have also brought home 13 individual NCAA titles.
 
MVC CHAMPIONSHIPS
It was a steady progression throughout Porter's freshman campaign before the Janesville, Wis., native exploded at the Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Championships. Entering the week of the MVC Championships, Porter used a best-jump of 12.82m (42-00.75) at the Pacesetter Sports Invitational to claim the top seed. She didn't disappoint, besting her previous personal-best mark to claim her first MVC title with an impressive leap of 12.91m (42-04.25) on her last attempt of the competition.
