Women's Indoor Track | 2/10/2026 10:35:00 AM

The Cloud County Community College women's track and field team is ranked in the top-10 nationally for the second straight week, per the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Track & Field Rating Index (TFRI). The T-Birds are ranked No. 5, and now come in at No. 1 in the Central Region.

The Cloud County women's indoor track and field team closed out a split weekend of competition with two event wins and nine top-10 finishes at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Nebraska, and the Fred Beile Track and Field Classic in Crete, Nebraska last weekend.

Sophomore sprinter Maimuna Jallow has received NJCAA Women's National Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season after she was named the Most Valuable Female Performer at the University of Nebraska's Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational. On Friday, February 6, Jallow won the 60M Dash in a national qualifying time of 7.29, lowering her seasonal best with the No. 7 all-time performance in NJCAA. The following day, Jallow claimed another win, taking the 200M Dash in a national qualifying time of 23.29 – again rating as the No. 7 NJCAA performance all-time.

Less than three hours later, Jallow joined sophomore Tahlia Lienert and freshmen Makaiah Hitchman and Alexis Smith on the 4x400M Relay team that finished second overall in a time of 3:52.80. Jallow ran a 54.91-second split on the second leg of the relay, which was her first 400M of any kind this year. Last year Jallow had a 54.54 lead-off leg to kick-start Cloud County to an NJCAA Indoor title in the 4x400.

Jallow joins former T-Birds Miracle Thompson (2023) and Mercy Ntia-Obong (2021) as the only three Cloud County women's track and field athletes to have been named National Athlete of the Week twice during the same indoor season.

A second 4x400M Relay team of freshmen Scholastica Herman, Addy Goeckel, Arihanna Koehn and McKenzie Baker placed eighth in a time of 4:08.59.

Herman recorded two national qualifying performances in the 600M and the 800M in Lincoln. Herman secured an eighth place finish in the 600M in a national qualifying time of 1:35.08, and added a national qualifying time of 2:19.73 in the 800M, placing 24th overall.

Freshman Natassia Burrell recorded a pair of strong performances, capturing a sixth place finish in the Shot Put with a national qualifying throw of 47'8.5", and a tenth place finish in the Weight Throw with a throw of 58'1.25".

In Crete, freshman Zoey Sudbeck notched a fifth place finish in the Shot Put with a throw of 40'8.75".

Freshman Whitney Scott recorded a sixth place finish in the Pole Vault with a vault of 10'2".

Cloud County continues its indoor season at the Washburn University Ichabod Invitational on Friday, February 13 and Saturday, February 14.
