Tampa, Fla. - Senior Janelle Noe punched her ticket to the NCAA Track and Field Championship today after finishing the 1,500m in a personal best 4:16.34. Noe took ninth at the NCAA East Preliminary Round, and becomes the first Rocket to qualify for the national championship since 2016 (Liz Weiler, 3,000S and Kyesha Neal, discus).
"Janelle is obviously an amazing athlete and she just continues to put together great races," head coach Linh Nguyen said. "This has been a historic season and I couldn't be happier to see it continue into Eugene. There's no harder-working or more deserving person, and it's great to see her commitment pay off."
Noe ran alongside teammate Petronela Simiuc who finished in 20th after crossing in 4:28.49.
Toledo's final competitor at the NCAA East Prelims was set to be sophomore Athena Welsh but she has been scratched since running in yesterday's 3,000m steeplechase.
