MUNCIE, Ind. - - The Ball State track & field program will be officially sending two student-athletes to next week's NCAA East Preliminary Round at the University of Kentucky Outdoor Track and Field Facility, as sophomore sprinter Peyton Stewart found out today (Thursday, May 18) her time was fast enough to qualify for the meet.
Stewart entered the week seeded 53rd in the NCAA East Region with her first-place time of 11.55 in the 100m dash at the 2017 Mid-American Conference Championships. However, scratches in the event raised her all the way up to 42nd among the 48-runner field.
