BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Hannah Steelman finished eighth overall in the 3,000 meters at the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships. The championships, hosted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the City of Birmingham, were held March 8 and 9 at the Birmingham CrossPlex in Birmingham, Alabama.
 
Steelman, a sophomore from Orono, Maine, ran the 3,000 meters in 9:08.79 to place eighth overall. She earned All-America honors with her finish. She becomes the first Terrier track and field athlete to earn All-America honors in an indoor event. By scoring a point in the meet, she led Wofford to a 64^th place finish overall out of nearly 100 schools competing.
 
This marked her third time competing in an NCAA Championship, as she ran the 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 5,000 meters at the 2018 Outdoor Championship and ran in the 2018 Cross Country Championship. She previously earned All-America second team honors in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and was honorable mention in the 5,000 meters.
 
Steelman was one of only two women from the Southern Conference to qualify for the Championship, joining Samford's Karisa Nelson who was second overall in the mile.
 
A re-air of the championship will take place starting at 10 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, March 10 on ESPN2 and again Monday, March 11 starting at 10 p.m. Eastern time on ESPNU.
