STARTING BLOCK
North Florida senior distance runner Eden Meyer added another page to her storybook career on the opening day of competition at the NCAA East Preliminary meet by finishing sixth in the 10,000m and earning a second consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. Seniors Claudia Jalon and Alyssa Young also concluded their collegiate career with solid performances.
Â
AROUND THE TRACK

- Senior standout Eden Meyer captured a sixth-place finish in the 10,000m with a time of 34:06. Meyer earns a spot in the national championship for the second straight year after collecting second-team All-American honors last year in the event
ON THE FIELD
- Senior Alyssa Young closed her collegiate career with a mark of 1.70m (5-07.00) in the high jump, finishing 39th. Young was competing in the NCAA East Prelim for the third time in her career
UP NEXT:
- Eden Meyer advances to the NCAA Championship on June 6-9 in Eugene, Ore.
Pigg's Points (Comments from Head Coach Jeff Pigg)
"Eden is such a great competitor. She stayed in the top six the entire race and really closed well. She has worked so hard throughout her career and is an example of what clean living and hard work will get you. She ran a great race and we are looking forward to another trip to Eugene."
"Claudia ran a lifetime best and ended her career with fastest 1500 of her life. She raced well and just came up short. She has made a big impact on our program this season."
"Alyssa has some nice attempts in today's meet. She has meant so much to our program. She not only competed well but also worked hard and showed great character throughout her time here. She has really led the way to a more productive and successful women's track program."
