Saturday, Macalester junior Logan Hovie will compete in the high jump at the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships in Winston-Salem, N.C. He secured his first ticket to indoor nationals by posting a school-record jump of 2.07m (6-9 1/2) to win his first Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference indoor championship.
 
Hovie's winning jump gave him his first indoor conference crown, after twice being runner-up, following a pair of conference outdoor titles and earned him his fifth consecutive all-conference honor.
 
This weekend's NCAA appearance will be the third of his career and first indoor appearance for Hovie. He enters the competition tied for 10th among the 15 qualifiers.
 
One of just four male student-athletes to qualify from the MIAC, Hovie is also the only field event competitor from the conference entered in this weekend's championships.
 
Saturday's men's high jump competition is scheduled to get underway at 2:30 p.m. EST at the JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, N.C., and hosted by Roanoke College. Hovie is slated as the 14th competitor in the event, which will start at 1.94m (6-4 1/4) and will be a one-flight event.
