Results

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (5/26/23)---Peyton Selle (Dickinson, N.D.) finished off her second consecutive appearance at the NCAA Division III National Meet in style. The junior came through with a career-best time in the 800 meters, which helped her post a career-best point total in the heptathlon.  

Selle, the only multi-event athlete from the MIAC to qualify for the national meet, finished with a total of 4,565 points. That total is 127 points better than her previous score in the event and helped her place 14th in the national event. That is eight spots better than her seed coming into the meet and one spot ahead of last year's finish at the DIII Meet. In 2022, she ended the competition with 4,372 points

Selle's top-scoring event was the first race of the heptathlon, where she ran 15.68 in the 100-meter hurdles and scored 754 points.

Selle had three other events where she scored at least 675 points. He came through with a time of 27.20 in the 200 meters, that earned her 695 points. Her performance in the 800 gave her 687 points, while a height of 5-01.00 in the high jump added 678 points to her total score.

Selle's other 600-point-plus event came in the first event on Day 2. She earned 614 points with a distance of 17-00.75 in the long jump. It was only the second time in her career that she had recorded a mark over 17 feet.

Selle's top finish among all the other 21 competitors in the heptathlon came in the javelin. She posted a distance of 118-10, which was the seventh-best among all athletes.
