Arkansas Final Qualifier
- Missouri State sophomore Althia Maximilien ran 53.06, which puts her in 16th. Time will only tell if she is safe, but with more races tomorrow it could be unlikely.

- Arkansas’ Martin Borge ran 2:05.29 to put herself in 10th place for the women’s 800-meter run on the Sweet 16.

- Ivanique Kemp of Arkansas was No. 16 entering the day for the Sweet 16’s 60-meter hurdles. Her time of 8.18 moved her up to ninth. Texas’ Morgan Snow puts herself in sixth with her day’s best of 8.17.

Columbia Final Qualifying Meet

Allison Lasnicki (Connecticut, 15:59.00) and Katie Kellner (Cornell, 16:01.51) have also put their name in contention as the bubble time entering Saturday was 16:01.70.  Things should be faster tomorrow. 

UW Final Qualifier
- Stanford’s Amy Weissenback and Idaho’s Liga Velvere went 1-2 in the women’s 800-meter run with their 2:05.56 and 2:06.20 times respectively. Velvere’s time may be too close to call her an auto-NCAA qualifier.

- Boise State’s Emma Bates punches her ticket to NCAA’s by winning the women’s 5,000-meter run in 15:50.78. That is good enough for No. 7 on the Sweet 16 list.
