EUGENE, Ore. –Â
Sarah Hendrick ran a time of 2:03.17 to finish fourth in the semifinals of the 800m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Thursday. That time advances her to Saturday evening's final. Hendrick's win gave KSU its first final qualifier in a track event in program history.
Â
"Since we left the NCAA Indoor Championships the goal has been to get back in the NCAA final," assistant coach
Adam Bray said. "This outdoor season Sarah has been able to improve her skill set and accomplish that goal. She has one more race this NCAA outdoor season and a chance to win her first NCAA title. It has been a great year and I am excited to see how she does this Saturday. She has nothing to lose and will give it her best."
Â
Hendrick will race in the 800m final on Saturday, June 12 at 7:14 p.m. EST. The race can be viewed on ESPNU.
