JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Indiana Track & Field wrapped up its time at the NCAA East Preliminary Round on Saturday night. Khayla Dawson and Leah Moran highlighted the day as they will represent the Cream and Crimson in two events at National Championships.
After securing a spot in the shot put, Dawson became the first thrower to qualify for nationals in both the shot put and discus since 1992. Dawson earned her spot in the discus with a heave of 54.08m (177' 5").
Moran qualified in the long jump on Thursday and returned for the triple jump on Saturday. During her third attempt, she soared a distance of 13.19m (43' 3.25") to secure the ninth qualifying spot.
On the track, Kelsey Harris was the lone Hoosier to qualify as she had the second fastest quarterfinal time in the 1500m. Harris clocked a personal best 4:11.75.
The eight student-athletes who earned qualifying spots will next represent Indiana at the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships in Eugene, Ore. The Championships are slated for June 9-12 at the newly built Hayward Field.
