Amanda Gehrich qualifies for next round in the 1500
AUSTIN, Texas – The Utah track and field team opened competition at the NCAA Division I West Preliminary on Thursday in Austin, Texas. The Utes were represented in the javelin, long jump, and the 1500-meter run.
Â
Freshman Amanda Gehrich competed in the 1500-meter run at the Mike A. Myres Stadium. Gehrich finished in 10th place with a time of 4:25.12. With this time, Gehrich will advance to the next round of the 1500-meter run on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. MT for a spot at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore.
Â
"Amanda ran a great race. She just came up short in a mad dash for an automatic qualifying spot, but after sweating it out for the other three heats, she was the fastest of the time qualifiers. She is a freshman who looked very comfortable in her first NCAA meet, which bodes well for her future, as well as for our program," head coach Kyle Kepler said.
Â
Representing Utah in the long jump, freshman Ann Wingeleth finished in a tie for 26th overall. Wingeleth recorded a mark of 19 feet, 8.25 inches (6.0m).
Â
"Ann looked as good as she has all year. All three attempts were aggressive which you love to see as a freshman at this meet. She went for it and may have advanced if her third attempt wasn't a foul. She had a terrific season and has a huge future ahead," Kepler stated.
Â
Sophomore Christine Glasmann competed for Utah in the javelin. Glasmann finished in 47th place after recording a mark of 120 feet, 2 inches (36.63m).
Â
"Chrissy struggled with her approach on all three attempts. It was just one of those days where it didn't click. However, she had a great season that involved a lot of consistency. She's a great person and teammate so we know she will bounce back moving forward," Kepler said.
Â
Utah will be back in action tomorrow when junior Grayson Murphy competes in the 3000-meter steeplechase. The steeplechase event will begin Friday night at 7:20 p.m. MT.
