Michaela Courtney sits atop the women's track and field record book in three middle distance events and is the most recent women's track athlete to garner NCAA All-America honors with a fifth-place finish in the 1,500-meter run at the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Courtney's time of 4:17.44 stands as MU's gold standard in the event, while she also set the mile all-time mark (4:43.07) with a 16th-place finish at the 2006 NCAA indoor meet. She was an eight-time all-conference performer between both indoor and outdoor track and field and helped the women's cross country squad to three straight NCAA Championships (2003-06) and a pair of C-USA team titles (2003 and 2004). The three NCAA cross country appearances capped a string of a program-best stretch of six consecutive years competing at the national meet.
