In 1985 the ASC women’s indoor track & field team won the first ever national championship in the sport (male or female) by any RMAC team. At the meet held in Kansas City, Mo., the then-Indians held off second- place Prairie View A&M 67-64. Milan Donley was named NAIA Coach of the Year. Julie Jenkins (who is being inducted into the RMAC Hall of Fame as an individual) was the national champion in the 880 yards, winning in a blazing time of 2:10.69, which was a new NAIA record that still stands today. RMAC Hall of Famer Lori Risenhoover won the long jump with a leap of 19 feet, eight inches. This was Risenhoover’s second national title in that event. The RMAC did not sponsor the sport of women’s indoor track & field until 1992.
