May 24-26 three members of the Loyola track and field team raced in the NCAA West Regional in Sacramento, California.
In the preliminary race, junior Kevin White (800-meter and 1,500-meter) was able to qualify for the quarterfinal race, but redshirt junior Lindsey Brewis (5,000-meter) and senior Emma Hatch (10,000-meter) fell short of the quarterfinal and ended their seasons. White was able to finish third in the quarterfinal allowing him to advance to the NCAA Championships.
White is the first Rambler to advance in the 1,500m run at the regional meet since Sam Penzenstadler in 2015. White competed in the regional meet last year with the 800m, but this is his first season competing in the 1,500m.
