BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Centre junior Serena McNeilly, fresh off a national title in the women's pentathlon yesterday, capped off one of the greatest individual performances in Centre track & field history by winning another national championship in the high jump on day two of the 2026 NCAA Indoor Championships on Saturday.

McNeilly was the only athlete in the field to complete the first five clears of the competition without fouling. The sixth clear was 5-9.25 (1.76m) and McNeilly was the only person to clear that bar, securing her second national championship of the weekend. McNeilly eventually cleared 5-10.5 (1.79m) to tie the program record she set yesterday during the pentathlon and secure her spot among the all-time greats.

Later in the meet, McNeilly and long jump national champion Chloe Hein each competed in the triple jump and both earned All-America status once again. McNeilly set a new Centre women's track & field record on her final jump of the day as she posted a mark of 40-4.25 (12.30m), good for a national runner-up finish. Hein posted a mark of 37-10.5 (11.54m) to finish 14th overall and get an All-America Second Team nod.

By the end of the NCAA Championships, McNeilly and Hein each earned a spot on the outer wall of Sutcliffe Hall for their national championship performances. The two have combined for 18 All-America honors in their collegiate careers, with McNeilly winning ten and Hein winning eight. Amazingly, Centre women's track nearly scored the most points of any team in the field as they finished with 43 total points - good for third overall - despite putting just two athletes into the field.
