Austin Peay State University has had recent success during the indoor season, most recently capturing the 2020 OVC Indoor Track and Field Championship, the first indoor title for the Govs since 2001. It will be the fourth time in the last five years Austin Peay State University has competed at the Ed Temple Invitational and the first time since the 2019-20 season.
The Govs look to build off of last season’s success, capturing a sixth-place finish at the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor Championships to go along with juniors Kenisha Phillips and Karlijn Schouten earning spots at the NCAA East prelims.
During her sophomore campaign, Schouten won both the OVC Indoor and Outdoor Pole-Vaulting Championship. At the OVC outdoor championships, Schouten won the pole vault title with a meet-record 4.06-meter mark to earn a spot at the NCAA East Prelims. In her first NCAA East Preliminary, Schouten finished 25th with a 4.07-meter vault. Her final three marks of the season were the second-, fifth- and sixth-best outdoor pole vault marks in APSU history.
