FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Boise State track and field student-athletes Landon Helms and Kaiya Robertson concluded their 2026 indoor seasons at the 2026 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday.

First-team All-America honors are awarded to athletes finishing first through eighth in their respective events, while athletes finishing ninth through 16th earn second-team All-America recognition.

Robertson, who became the first Bronco female qualifier since 2023, and the first in the mile since 2019, earned second-team All-America honors, finishing 14th in the mile preliminary round with a time of 4:40.33. It marks the second All-America honor of her track career after earning All-America honorable mention at the 2025 outdoor championships.

Helms, the 2026 Mountain West heptathlon champion, also earned second-team All-America honors for his performance. On day one of competition, Helms set personal bests in the 60 meters (6.95) and high jump (1.97 meters) to finish the day in 12th place. Helms opened day two with another personal best in the 60-meter hurdles (8.01) but recorded no height in the pole vault, and elected to step off in the 1000-meter. He concluded the meet in 15th place with 4,179 points, earning second-team All-America honors for the second time in his career.
