Fifteen individuals and 2 Relays qualified for the NCAA Championships in two weeks. Some of the usual suspects and a couple of great surprises. Nine women and six men will make the trek to Oregon's fabled Hayward Field.
Because of Bridget Franek's win in the steeplechase, she will toe the line in the event as the favorite. Three also qualified in the 400 Hurdles with Fawn Dorr, Megan Duncan and Evonne Britton moving on. The Sprints are also well represented with Aleesha Barber, Shavon Greaves. Bianca Fung also qualified in the long jump and Karlee McQuillen tossed the javelin to third place booking her ticket to Oregon.
The Men also impressed, placing six individuals into the Championships. 800 U qualified two in the event, with Casimir Loxsom and Ryan Foster two-lapping into the next round. In the distances, Tyler McCandless ran a strong 10000 M to move on.
My emphasis on the track aspects of PSU Track and Field led a few Field Eventers to mildly protest at the Reunion, so here is another headline just for you!
Penn State Field and Track Team Impresses Crowd
In the Shot Put, Joe Kovacs and Blake Eaton both qualified for a trip to the West Coast. Ryan Fritz also jumped at his chance of moving on and tied for first in the High Jump.
