Eight Men-Nine Entries
While the group includes a few new-comers to NCAA championship competition, it also includes a number of athletes who are expected to be in the mix for national titles. It also includes a national champion from 2013, and one a few months removed from a national team title in cross country.
South Dakota’s Bethany Buell and Kansas’ Lindsay Vollmer claimed national titles in the pole vault and heptathlon at last June’s NCAA Outdoor Championships, extending the streak of two Missourians winning Division I outdoor titles to three straight years. They joined Florida State’s Maurice Mitchell (200 meters), and Oklahoma’s Brittany Borman (javelin), who did so in both 2011 and 2012.
Vollmer not only claimed the national title in the heptathlon, but helped her Kansas squad to a team title in Eugene, Or. Vollmer however wont be competing in Albuquerque after coming up short in the pentathlon. Vollmer fouled on each of her long jump attempts and did not finish the 800 meters at the Big 12 Indoor Champs, coming up short of a qualifying score for nationals.
And while Bethany Buell won the vault title in 2013, she is now competing as Bethany Firsick, presumably having been married since June. Buell won the title despite having a shoulder injury and wearing a brace. The injury forced her to forgo the USA Championships in favor of surgery. Firsick is back, but maybe not quite to 100 %, as she is the 11th seed entering the meet, having a season best of 14-1.75.
A handful of Missouri athletes have reasonable chances at national titles and three of them are top seeds. Florida State junior Colleen Quigley (St. Louis, Nerinx Hall HS) is the top seed in the mile and is scheduled to anchor the Seminoles distance medley relay. Quigley sits just ahead of teammate Linden Hall with a best of 4:32.11 in the mile, second only on the college performance list behind Dartmouth superstar Abbey D’Agostino’s 4:28. D’Agostino will skip the mile in favor of the 3k, 5k, and DMR.
Quigley has gone from an excellent high school runner to a great collegiate one. She’s looking for an NCAA trophy in her sixth straight NCAA championship, track or cross country. After a 5th place national finish in the steeplechase in 2012 as a freshman, Quigley took 12th at the 2012 cross country championships, helping the Seminoles to a 4th place team trophy. A year ago, Quigley just missed qualifying for the NCAA meet as an individual in the mile and 3k, but had the fastest anchor leg in the DMR, taking the ‘Noles from 7th place or further back, to a 4th place finish.
Outdoors in 2013, Quigley was second in the 3k steeplechase, running a 9:35, just three seconds behind Olympian Emma Coburn. In November 2013, Quigley showed she’s one of the best in country at several distances, taking 6th at the cross country championships 6k. Quigley is now poised to have her best shot at a national title. It will be interesting to see how she runs in the mile prelims, and if any thought of sitting out the DMR Friday night is taken in order to best be ready for Saturday’s mile final. It seems doubtful though.
