HOW THEY SECURED THEIR SPOT:

Tutton secured her spot at nationals by way of a first-place finish at the JDL ASICS Last Chance Invitational. The Lewes, United Kingdom, standout cleared a personal best of 4.52m (14-10 feet) to win the event and vault up to No. 2 all-time on the Duke charts.
The Blue Devils' women's 4x400m punched their ticket to the NCAA Indoor Championships via a stellar performance at the Clemson Tiger Paw Invitational. Duke's quartet of Jackson, Baker, Collins and Tolbert hit the tape in a season-best time of 3:30.35 to place third overall, unseating the ACC record set by Florida State in 2025. The Blue Devils' time also shaved over a second off their own previous school record set just a week prior.

UP NEXT:
Duke shifts its attention to the 2026 outdoor season. The Blue Devils will unveil their full outdoor competition slate Monday, Mar. 16.
