This is one of the biggest weeks in college track and field in all three NCAA divisions.
In Division I, the four-day West and East Preliminary meets began Wednesday. The top 12 individuals in each event and top 12 teams in the relays at each preliminary meet will qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships from June 9-12 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
The top-ranked Eagles ended the season with a wealth of national top-10 marks – try 15 of them, to be exact. Skye Digman gave UW-La Crosse its only two chart-toppers with her efforts in the shot put (14.11m/46-3½) and weight throw (17.95m/58-10¾). Hannah Zenkovich is the only other Eagle ranked in the top-2 nationally, as she owns the No. 2 spot in the 60H (8.69).
Loras jumped three spots from No. 5 to No. 2 based off its efforts at the DIII Elite Indoor Track & Field Championships. Kassie Rosenbum ended the season with a strong outing in the 3000 at 9:44.14, which put her No. 2 on the season-ending Descending Order List. Rosenbum was also on the now third-ranked DMR, which pairs well with the second-ranked 4×400 relay (3:55.01).
