KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Montana Tech senior Abby Clark will be heading to the NAIA's outdoor track & field championships for a fourth-straight season, the national office announced Monday afternoon with its full slate of qualifiers in the women's heptathlon and men's decathlon. 

The Fort Benton native enters the national-championship meet as the second-ranked heptathlete in the NAIA following her 4,902-point performance at the Frontier Conference championship in the multi event. 

It will be Clark's third time competing in the heptathlon at nationals. She was third at both the 2024 and 2023 NAIA championships on her way to All-America honors. Clark also qualified in the high jump as a freshman in 2022, finishing 11th. She's also a two-time indoor All-American in the pentathlon. 

She will compete the seven events — 100-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m dash, long jump, javelin, and 800m run — over two days later this month in conjunction with the rest of the national meet at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Ind. The heptathlon begins with the high hurdles at 8:30 a.m. MDT Wednesday, May 21. 

Clark is the only Montana Tech student-athlete to ever represent the Orediggers in a national multi event. Click here to see the full slate of multi-event qualifiers at the 2025 NAIA Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championship.
