TAMPA, Fla.  – A school-record effort by senior Stefano Migliorati in the 800m Friday earned the two-time American Athletic Conference champion a spot in the NCAA Outdoor Championships field as the NCAA East Preliminary continued at the USF Track and Field Stadium.
Â
Migliorati snagged 10th place with a time of 1:48.28 that broke his previous program-best mark by almost half of a second. He earns his first trip to nationals and will join teammate and classmate Galissia Cause who qualified in the shot put Thursday.
Â
Freshman Sommer Knight just missed securing a trip to Oregon in the pole vault, clearing 4.08 meters to finish in a tie for 13th place. Like Migliorati, she set a new school standard in the event.
Â
Cause and senior Mohogany Baker competed in the discus, taking 26th and 38th with respective marks of 49.37 and 46.72 meters.
Â
Back over on the track, junior Courtney Warner placed 40th in the 200m with a time of 23.58 while classmate Grace Sullivan ended up 33rd in the 3,000m steeplechase in a time of 10:32.05.
Â
The final day of regional meet Saturday will see Baker compete in the hammer at 8:45 a.m. and freshman Brooke Stith in the triple jump at 12:30 p.m.
