MEDFORD, Mass. – Trinity College first-year

Olivia Carney (Bellingham, Mass.) qualified for the NCAA National Championships after competing at the NCAA Final Qualifier at Tufts University Saturday afternoon.

What Happened:

  • In the 200-meter final, Carney posted a time of 24.93 seconds to finish second overall in the event, placing in the Top 15 of the National list, earning a trip to the National Championships.

Brooke Scott finished fourth overall in the 60-meter dash with a time of 8.04, while Jenna Najjar set a new personal record in the 200-meter dash at 26.01.

Thoughts from Coach Mason:

  • "We are VERY proud of how our Bantams competed at the NCAA Final Qualifier meet, coming off a great New England Championship the weekend prior. It was only a small group there, but they brought a great team energy, and that team energy has propelled us back to the National Championship. We're excited to represent Trinity at the NCAA National Championships in Birmingham."

Up Next:

  • Carney will compete at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships in Birmingham, Alabama from March 13-14 at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
