Alison Mueller-Hickler capped her career with a first-team All-American performance in school-record time and Allison Barker posted a school record to qualify for a final at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships Thursday in Chattanooga, Tenn.
 
Mueller-Hickler, a senior from Katy, Texas, finished seventh in the 10K with a school-record time of 34:49.88 to earn her second All-America honor in track and field and third overall. She was a second-team selection last year in the 10K (10^th place) and was an All-American in cross country last fall.
 
Mueller-Hickler's time on Thursday surpassed the previous record of 35:04,69, set by Katie Sandfort in 2017.
 
Barker, meanwhile, qualified for the 1500 final by finishing 11^th out of 22 runners in the prelims with a school-record time of 4:26.77, surpassing the previous mark of 4:27.59, set by Isabel Olson last season.
 
The senior from Bethesda, Md., will run in the 1500 final on Saturday, May 23, at 1:25 p.m. (CT).
 
"It was a great first day of the championships for us," head coach Katie Bretscher said. "Alison Mueller-Hickler ended her career in the best way possible with a PR, school record and a first-team All-American award. Allison Barker also had an incredible day to advance to the finals."
