This upcoming weekend is the last chance to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Though the majority of our team is currently training for the upcoming outdoor season we do, however, have a couple of athletes competing this weekend at the Alex Wilson Invitational hosted by the University of Notre Dame.
Senior Cassie Peller, who provisionally qualified for the NCAA meet at the Meyo Invitational on February 9th, will try to better her time in the mile and move up on the descending order list. Cassie set her PR (4:46.00) and the 2nd-best time in school history 2 years ago at this very same meet.
Sophomore Rachel Thiel, who really came into her own at the BIG EAST meet, will compete in the shot put. I spoke with Coach Koenning about Rachel and he said that she has really been impressive in practice lately, frequently throwing near or at the 50-foot mark. The NCAA provisional mark indoors is 49’5.5”.
GO MARQUETTE!!
Coach Rogers
