Five student-athletes from the Maryland track and field teams qualified for the NCAA Championships. The NCAA East Prelims will take place from this Thursday, May 26, to this Saturday, May 28.
Junior Caleb Dean led the way for the men’s team, as he secured a top-20 ranking in the NCAA with a 49.78-second finish in the 400-meter hurdles. The All-Big Ten selection was the runner-up in the same competition at the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships one week ago.
The season continues to trend in the positive direction for sophomore thrower Jeff Kline. The Pennsylvania native shined competing in both discus thrower and the shot put, qualifying for his second consecutive NCAA appearance.
