Division III
 
Co-Track Athletes of the week
 
Jennifer Harlow– Wheaton College
Senior, East Bridgewater, Mass.

All-American Harlow provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championship by winning the 55-meter hurdles competition on Saturday at the Wesleyan Invitational. Harlow's winning time of 8.46 not only met a provisional standard but tied for the best in New England this season and tied for the fifth best in the nation.
Her performance also bettered the time she recorded during the preliminary round by 0.27 seconds. Harlow's victory was her second in three 55-meter hurdles competitions this season - she missed first during a runner-up finish by 0.01 seconds - and she has now met provisional qualifications twice in the event. The senior also won the high jump on Saturday for the fourth time in as many tries this year.
 
Maddie Outman – Williams College
Junior, Boulder, Colo.

Outman equaled her NCAA qualifying time twice both in the prelims and finals of
the 55 meter hurdles running 8.46 at this past weekend’s Boston Indoor Games. She placed 5th overall in the 500 meters, running a very impressive 1:17.02. Later, to close her busy night, the junior ran a leg on the 3rd place 4x400m relay team that ran 3:57.99, good for a NCAA provisional qualifying mark.
