The Scots' field event contingent looks especially solid this year, with multiple athletes looking for top-eight finishes. Junior Tessa Myatt (Chicago, Ill./Northside College Prep), who placed sixth in the heptathlon last week for Macalester's first three team points, is ranked fourth in the shot put and sixth in the high jump. She is the two-tie defending MIAC shot put champion indoors.

Junior Jessica Lin (Bedford, Mass./Bedford), Macalester's school record holder in the hammer throw, is ranked fifth in her specialty. Senior Harmony-Keli Tomety (Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook East), who finished second in the long jump outdoors last year, is among the top six long jumpers in the MIAC field. Senior Brooke Boroughs (Monroe, Wash./Monroe) is ranked seventh in the javelin.

On the track, sophomore Kate Fox (Seattle, Wash./Roosevelt) is ranked second in the 5000 and third in the 1500 in the MIAC field.
