Halladay-Lowry clocked 9:03.20 for the 15-lap race to finish third. The senior from Meridian, Idaho  earned her second First Team All-America honor of the weekend as she placed second in the 5000m with a time of 15:06.17 Friday evening. 

Halladay-Lowry is now a five-time First Team All-American in track and field (3000m in 2024, 5000m in 2024, 3000m steeplechase in 2023) as well as a two-time BYU school-record holder (8:40.60 in the 3000m, 14:57.63 in the indoor 5000m).

DMR anchor Riley Chamberlain followed up her 4:25.12 1600m split Friday with a 12th place finish in the 3000m. The junior from Loomis, California clocked 9:06.63 to earn Second Team All-America status in the event. 

"It has been so incredible to see Lexy and Riley feed off of each other's success, find confidence in one another and celebrate one another's success," said coach Diljeet Taylor. "They are great competitors, but they have also been able to use one another to get even stronger individually."

The Cougars placed ninth overall with 24 points, marking the fourth time in the past five seasons that the team has placed in the top 10 at the NCAA indoor championships. 

"It was an amazing effort by our women. I am proud of all or our coaches, and particularly Coach Taylor in preparing our middle distance and distance crew so well. The 5000m and 3000m double is one of the most difficult in college track, and Lexy was in position late in both races to challenge for a win. The DMR victory really solidifies our position as a distance powerhouse in the NCAA. With four top-10 team finishes in the last five years, our women’s team shows the mark of true greatness and consistency."
