Elizabeth Blevins

The MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships took place on February 24th through 26th with several area athletes competing for multiple schools and one of those athletes was representing Emporia State in action.

Former Royal Valley Panther, Elizabeth Blevins is in her third year of competition at Emporia State University with the Hornets track and field team and at the MIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships ran her way to All-MIAA honors with a third place finish in the 600-yard run posting a time of 1:25.63 in the finals. Blevins was also part of the Hornets 4x400 meter relay team that notched a time of 3:55.71 to take fourth place at the MIAA Indoor Championships.

Throughout the Indoor season Blevins has notched several top performances competing in the 4x400 meter relay, 600-yard run and 400 meter dash earning several Top 10 and Top five performances in all three competitions.

Last year at the MIAA Indoor competition the former Panther earned sixth in 600-yard run and eighth in the 4x400 meter relay, while taking third in the 4x400 meter relay at the MIAA Outdoor competition.   Elizabeth has also competed in the long and triple jumps while at Emporia State.

In high school Blevins closed out her Panther track and field career in 2014 competing at State in Class 4A and stood on the medal stand with sixth place finishes in both the long and triple jumps, while also competing in the 100 and 200 meter dashes.

Blevins looks to continue her track career at Emporia State with the upcoming Outdoor season and looks too continue to be a strong competitor for the Hornets in several events.
