Luque will be looking to add to her already massive awards haul this weekend. The eight-time All-American will be looking to earn repeat honors this weekend, after finishing 12th in the long jump and ninth in the triple last season. Luque defended her indoor long jump and triple jump Big 12 titles two weeks ago in Ames, and is the No. 5 seed in the triple jump and No. 8 seed in the long jump this weekend.

Staebler earned First Team All-America honors in the indoor 800 last season with a sixth place finish. The Guttenberg, Iowa native is the No. 9 seed in this weekend's competition, featuring a very strong field with many runners Staebler has encountered in 2018. Her heat features Oklahoma State's and MTSU's Agnes Abu, both of whom were up against Staebler in the 800 at the Iowa State Classic last month.
