SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Boise State track and field team advanced a pair of runners to the national quarterfinals of their respective events to highlight the first day of the NCAA West Preliminary Round, Thursday at Hornet Stadium.
Alexis Fuller and Kristie Schoffield won their respective heats of the 1,500-meter and the 800-meter to secure an automatic qualifier to the national quarterfinal. Fuller enter the final lap of the 1,500-meter in a pack of five runners, looking to secure a top five spot to automatically advance to Saturday's action. The senior was able to hold off the field and win her heat in a time of 4:18.70. Her time was the fourth-fastest of the day.
In the women's 800m, Schoffield was able to use a late charge down the home straight to win the sixth heat of the first round in a time of 2:06.04 in order to secure an automatic qualifier to Friday's national quarterfinal.
Clare O'Brien was able to put herself in the top 10 of the national semifinal in the women's 10,000-meter, putting herself in position to advance to the national championship with a top 12 finish. The junior took a fall on the home straight nearly 6,000 meters into the race to fall of the lead pack. She was able to battle back into the top 10, but finished 15th in the event — three spots shy of punching her ticket to Austin, Texas.
Making their first appearances at the NCAA West Preliminary Round, Kendra Noneman and Justin Stattner were unable to finish in the top 12 and punch their tickets to the national championship. Noneman was able to get one clean throw in the women's hammer — tossing 53.48m to finish 44th. Stattner was unable to clear 4.96m in the pole vault, and will end his career ranked third in program history in the outdoor pole vault.
Also ending his Bronco career in Sacramento was Bryce Kirby. The senior was unable to cross the finish line in the men's 100m due to injury. He is the only athlete in school history to win three-straight conference titles in the men's 100m dash.
