Division III Track and Field Championships hosted by Ohio Wesleyan
University in Delaware, Ohio.
Berner provisionally qualified for the NCAA Div. III Championships

but finished second to Otterbein College's Alysha Gossel
who managed a leap of 11 feet, 5.75 inches.
Sophomore Katie Wieferich and junior Tiffany White also
managed top-10 finishes with eighth- and ninth-place showings with
times of 4:57.97 and 41:08.90 in the 1500 and 10,000 meters, respectively.

(43:02.14), respectively, in the 10,000 meters to round out the
Scot women's top finishers.
Delhagen finished as the runner-up in the 10,000 meters for the
Scot men, completing the race in 32:46.05, just off the pace set
by Otterbein's Nate Ritz (31:51.98).
