JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The second day of the NCAA East Preliminaries was just as strong as the first as two more 49ers are headed to the NCAA Outdoor Championships after Sarah Brown (pole vault) and Chandler Horton (10,000m) finished in the top-12 of their events.
Charlotte is now the only North Carolina school with athletes of both genders qualifying for nationals in the pole vault and 10,000m events after Elijah Cole and Nick Scudder secured their spots to Eugene, Ore., yesterday.
Brown became the third 49er to punch a ticket to Eugene after clearing a personal-best pole vault of 4.
