ST. PAUL, Minn. – The NCAA has announced the qualifying athletes for the 2022 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and Concordia-St. Paul's Arika Robinson (high jump and heptathlon), Jakob Tordsen (decathlon) and Tia Donlan (discus) were all selected to compete. The championships are set to take place from May 26-28 at Grand Valley State Track and Field Stadium in Allendale, Mich.
 
Robinson, the indoor national champion in the high jump, will look to defend her title in the outdoor season as she qualifies for the championships for the fourth time overall and the first time in an outdoor season, adding Second Team All-America honors in the 2020-21 indoor season. Her school record mark of 5'10.75" set at the Ross and Sharon Irwin Meet back on Mar. 19 put her third in the nation in the event heading into the championships.
 
As was the case in the indoor season, Robinson also qualified as a multi-event athlete as her total of 5068 points in the heptathlon set at the NSIC Outdoor Championships put her in 10^th in the country. In the pentathlon in the indoor season, she finished 11^th to add Second Team All-America honors.
 
Tordsen qualified for the championships for the second time this season after taking home a ninth place result and Second Team All-America honors in the heptathlon in the indoor season. Tordsen's winning mark of 7145 points in the decathlon at the Drake Relays was good for seventh in the country in the event.
 
Donlan garnered her first selection to the NCAA Championships with a program record and conference title-winning distance of 162'1" at the NSIC Outdoor Championships in the discus throw. Her mark bumped her up to 10^th in the nation.
