GENEVA, OHIO – Sophomore Ashley Sheldon became the first field athlete to represent the Union College women’s track & field team at multiple national championships by taking part in the high jump on day two of the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, held on Friday afternoon at SPIRE Institute.

Sheldon had three tries at the opening height of 1.60 meters, but could not clear the bar cleanly on any of her attempts.
