Mehringer concludes record-setting season with Second Team All-America accolades

EUGENE, Ore. – Indiana State sophomore hurdler Rachel Mehringer closed her record-breaking season with the Blue and White Thursday evening, placing 13th in the 100m hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor National Championships.
 
Mehringer ran a time of 13.15 to finish fifth in her semifinal heat and inside the top 15 in her NCAA National Championship debut, collecting Second Team All-America honors in the process.
 
Thursday's performance closed the best season by a 100m hurdles athlete in Missouri Valley Conference history. Each of Mehringer's last seven races ended with a time of 13.15 or better, including five under 13.10 (13.03 and 13.04 at Indiana State, 13.07 at the MVC Championships, 13.05 and 13.08 at the NCAA East First Round).
 
Mehringer's sophomore season included an Indiana State and Missouri Valley Conference record time of 13.04 at the Sycamore Open, and she also broke the MVC Championship record with her time of 13.07 at Southern Illinois. Following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, she owns the school and conference records in both the 60m hurdles and 100m hurdles while also having three facility records (60m dash, 60m hurdles, 100m hurdles).
 
The Schnellville, Indiana, native now owns the three fastest indoor 60m hurdles times in conference history (8.19, 8.19, 8.20) and the seven fastest outdoor 100m hurdles times in conference history (13.03, 13.04, 13.05, 13.07, 13.08, 13.12, 13.15), all of which were run during the 2024-25 season.
