North Dakota State senior Zach McGlynn will compete in the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships this Friday and Saturday, March 13-14, in Fayetteville, Ark.
 
The seven events of the heptathlon will be contested over two days, starting at 11 a.m. CT both days. The meet will be streamed on ESPN+.
 
The NCAA Indoor Championships are limited to the top 16 performers in the country in each individual event. McGlynn will enter the meet ranked sixth in the NCAA this season for the heptathlon.
 
The Stephen, Minn., native shattered the NDSU record in the heptathlon on Jan. 30-31 this season, scoring 5,975 points. He broke the previous mark set by All-American Andy Lillejord at the 2013 NCAA Championships by 182 points.
 
McGlynn is currently ranked 21st in the world and fifth among Americans this year in the heptathlon.
 
This will be the first NCAA Indoor Championships appearance for the Bison men since Trevor Otterdahl took fifth in the weight throw in 2022 to earn first-team All-America honors.

 
All-America Honors
The top eight finishers in all events will earn first team All-American honors, and places 9 through 16 will be named second team All-Americans.
 
Bison All-American History
NDSU has claimed 14 All-America honors in men's indoor track & field at the Division I level.
