Catch Anna Shields if you can.

The Point Park senior enthralled onlookers yet again with another record-breaking performance at the NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships Saturday in Brookings, S.D.

Shields defended her titles in the mile and 1,000-meter runs — within two hours of each other — while setting a record in the 1,000.

Later, she anchored the runner-up distance medley relay with a 4-minute, 41-second split.

Her winning time in the mile of 4:37.73 won Shields the gold by 12 seconds. In the 1,000 meters, she set a record with a mark of 2:44.35. Her personal-best time in that event of 2:42.51 set at Penn State, ranks 30th in the world.

Shields now has eight NAIA titles and 13 All-America honors. She was named NAIA Track Outstanding Performer of the Meet and co-MVP.
