LOGAN, Ohio - Having already won the event three years in a row, there was seemingly little Nevaeh Brown could do to improve her pole vault performance at the River States Conference Indoor Championships.

And yet, she did just that on Saturday, breaking her own meet record and winning a fourth consecutive pole vault title, leading the Midway women to an eighth-place finish.

Brown was one of six Eagle athletes to earn all-conference recognition as Midway finished with 50 points. Point Park won handily with 240.50, well ahead of Indiana Kokomo's 97.50.

One of only three competitors to go higher than three meters, Brown soared above the competition with a top height of 3.66. She edged out the previous meet record of 3.52, which Brown herself set at the 2023 Championships.

This followed up wins of 3.36 meters in 2021 and 3.32 in 2022 and sends Brown, a three-time All-American, into the Indoor National Championships on a high note.

Nationals will be held in Brookings, S.D. on Feb. 29-March 2.

Midway had a healthy mix of newcomers and veterans shine on Saturday.

In her first conference meet, freshman Trinity Gottler made all-conference in shot put and weight throw.

Gottler broke her own program record in shot, taking second at 12.35 meters and trailing only Sydney Duncan on Indiana Kokomo, who threw a meet record 14.00. Gottler was third in weight throw as well, topping out at 13.77 meters.

She wasn't the only Trinity to nab multiple all-conference odds. Trinity Smith got herself on the podium with a third-place, program-record run of 5:23.42 in the one-mile.

She then teamed with Emilee Cecil, Kashlynn Rice and Taniyah Hines in the day's final race, taking third at the 4x400 relay in 4:22.39, also a program record. Smith narrowly missed another all-conference designation in the 3,000-meter run, where she was fourth in 11:00.27.

Elsewhere, Stevie McSorley scored in three events, including a sixth-place run of 2:42.87 in the 800. She also placed sixth with Macy Adams, Abby Cunningham and Abby Baldridge in the 4x800 relay (11:04) and eighth with Cunningham, Adams and Ann Graves in the 400 distance medley relay (14:35.19).

Graves had an individual eighth-place run of her own, finishing the 1,000-meter run in 3:43.58.

Midway's Champion of Character was Jasmine Clouse.
