Academy of Art University Athletics

Selena Arjona-Alcazar added quite an exclamation mark to the indoor regular season with her best 60m of the year, the top 200m of her career, and contributed to a the fastest 4x400m relay from Academy of Art women's track & field thus far in 2023.

First at the Fasttrack Last Chance Invitational on Feb. 24, Arjona-Alcazar placed first in the 60m dash invitational final with a new best of the season at 7.48, moving up into the top 16 in NCAA Division II. The Last Chance Indoor National Qualifier on Feb. 26 then saw the Communications & Media Technologies major deliver her fastest indoor 200m to date at 23.82. Already second only to multi-time Hall of Famer Vashti Thomas in the event, Arjona-Alcazar moved ever closer to the 23.43 program record while simultaneously taking over the sixth spot in the country. She later joined Britney Clark, Lina Hanich, and Michaela Andrews for the Urban Knights' new 4x400m relay season best of 3:46.84 which put them 20th in the nation and just over a second back of the fifth spot in ART U history.
