Former Marquette Redettes Shayla Huebner (800-meter run) and Izzie Peterson (100 and 200) both earned spots, while Michelle Juergen qualified in the high jump.

This is Huebner’s second trip to the national championships this season after she finished sixth in the 800 and earned All-American status at the Indoor Championships in March. She finished second at the GLIAC Championships and broke a Wildcats record with a time of 2:08.97 to earn Second Team All-GLIAC honors.

And Juergen has also qualified for the NCAA finals for the second time this year as she took 10th in the high jump to earn Second Team All-American honors. She was also named the conference Field Athlete of the Meet for the second time this year at the GLIACs.
