ALBUQUERQUE, N.M./BOSTON, Mass./NASHVILLE, Tenn. (2/14/26) – Sophomore distance runner Mia Conroy entered the top five in Arkansas State track and field’s indoor history for the women’s 800 meters, and the Red Wolves concluded action at the David Hemery Valentine and Don Kirby Invitationals along with the Music City Challenge on Saturday.
 
The Perth, Australia, native clocked in at 2:09.84 in the women’s 800 meters and recorded a top 25 finish in the process. She entered the day at 10th place in A-State’s indoor record book for the event, but ends at third.
