INDIANAPOLIS -- San Diego State’s Shaquena Foote and Jenna Fee Feyerabend each qualified for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, which was announced Tuesday night. Foote qualified in the 400 meters, while Feyerabend made it in the pentathlon.

This year’s NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships will take place from March 14-15 at the Virginia Beach Sports Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Foote is coming off a fantastic Mountain West Indoor Championship meet over the weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she won both the 200 and 400. Foote first captured the 400 in dominating fashion with a time of 51.48 seconds. It was a Mountain West record and an indoor program record. She won the event by 1.10 seconds over the second-place finisher and took the indoor gold for a second consecutive season.

Foote then took down the 200 with a time of 22.89, the second-fastest indoor 200 in school history. For her efforts, Foote was named the MW Track Performer of the Meet. Foote would’ve qualified for the meet in the 200 as well but chose to just run the 400.

This will be Foote’s first NCAA Indoor Championship after taking 17th in the 400 at last year’s outdoor championship meet.

Feyerabend, meanwhile, won the pentathlon on Thursday with 4,183 points, the second-highest point total of her career.

Feyerabend came in ninth in the pentathlon at the 2023 indoor championships with 4,263 points. She also was 11th in the 2023 outdoor heptathlon (5,742 points) and ninth in 2024 (5,812).

The outdoor season gets underway for the Aztecs Friday at the Ben Brown Invitational in Fullerton, California.
