Erika Hurd, a third-year College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning student and University of Cincinnati high jumper, is excited to participate in the competition.
“It’s going to be mind boggling,” Hurd said. “It’s the dream of every track person to go to that stadium and experience it. It’s Eugene. It’s Track Town USA.”
Alongside three fellow Bearcats — Kenya Woodall, Rebecka Abrahamsson and Adrian Valles — Hurd will gain the chance to live out her dream.
Marking it a university record, 2015 is the third time in 10 years that UC Track and Field will send four athletes to the NCAA Championships.
