As the 2024 track season reaches its closure, there are only select student-athletes still competing for a chance to represent their schools in the NCAA Championship. One of those select few is Washington State's Maribel Caicedo, as she has established herself as one of the best student-athletes in the country; and as she prepares to compete in the NCAA 100-meter hurdle semifinals, she will be representing the Crimson and Gray, but also has the chance to represent her home country's colors in the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

Caicedo hails from Guayaquil, Ecuador, where she was introduced to track and field at a young age.
