Post written by Ryan Hilgemann for Lipscomb Athletics. NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Freshman Madi Talbert is poised to make history for the Lipscomb track and field team. Talbert will become the first athlete from Lipscomb to compete at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday in Eugene, Ore. The race is scheduled for 7:35 p.m. Talbert qualified for the 3000-meter steeplechase after finishing in the top 12 of the preliminary round held two weeks ago in Greensboro, N.C. Entering with the 42nd ranked time in a field for 48 competitors, Talbert beat the odds to qualify. “She had nothing to lose going into the preliminary round,” Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. “Our approach as a freshman was this is a great opportunity. Let’s go run a good race and as many good laps as we can. “I knew she had a chance to qualify but you don’t really expect somebody to drop 20 seconds and improve from 42nd to 12th in one race.” Talbert will be taking the same attitude into the national round of having nothing to lose. “It gives us the same freedom if not more freedom going into nationals,” Taylor said. “It is the same approach but now she gets to throw in good laps at the national finals. Every step that she takes racing just helps her build the future.” At the preliminary round, Talbert crushed the previous school record posting a time of 10:11.21. She finished fourth in her heat and 12th overall. Running the middle heat, Talbert had to wait out the final heat race and all of the men’s steeplechase...
