PITTSBURG, Kansas – Running her final indoor race of the season, University of Mary All-American Alexis Zeis broke her own school record in the 3,000 meter run and placed ninth at the 2016 NCAA women's indoor track & field championships.
 
A two-time Northern Sun champion in the 3,000, the sophomore from Bismarck, N.D., ran the distance in 9:35.32, a new school record. She was the top finisher among NSIC competitors.
 
Despite a strong kick in the middle of the race where she moved briefly into second, Zeis missed eighth place - and what would have been her fifth All-American citation – by .02 seconds. She missed seventh place by .08 seconds. Zeis placed 8^th in this event at the 2015 NCAA indoor championships.
 
The Marauders finished 30^th overall with six points. Davina Carr captured all the U-Mary team points after taking third in the pole vault on Friday and earning All-American honors for a second straight year.
