DECORAH, Iowa - The American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) Indoor Track & Field Championships began on Friday at the indoor track on the campus of Luther College. Cailey Peterson highlighted the day for the women's track & field team, winning a conference championship in the pole vault. 

Peterson dominated the pole vault as her first go at 3.50 meters won her the conference title. Peterson would continue to see how high she could get and would end at 3.70 meters and best the entire pole vault field by over two feet. The first-year pole vaulter has set her mark on the conference in just her first ever indoor conference championships. Peterson also competed in the 60 meter dash prelims and qualified for the finals tomorrow with the fifth fastest time of 7.89 seconds. 

Chloe Reiser was all-conference in the shot put with a throw of 13.08 meters on her final throw of her flight. 

The Spartans currently sit in sixth with 20 team points through six scored events on Friday.
