Madi Talbert and Gemikal Prude took their talents to Eugene, Oregon, to compete in the NCAA Nationals for track and field.
Talbert hit the track on Wednesday in the 3000-meter steeplechase. She finished with a time of 10:13.70, placing her seventh in her heat. Talbert was also named a Second Team All-American. Despite the success, Talbert’s time was not good enough to for the Finals.
This was Talbert’s second consecutive appearance at Nationals. She improved on her 2013 time of 10:41.98.
Prude, also competing at Nationals for the second straight year, ended his season on Friday attempting to clear a height of 2.05 meters.
Despite leaping 2.14 meters in the Eastern Preliminaries, Prude was not able to clear the 2.05 meter bar. Even though Prude did not advance on Friday, he was named an honorable mention All-American.
In March, Prude finished ninth overall in the high jump at NCAA Indoor Nationals with a mark of 2.15 meters.
