The total of 13 Ole Miss athletes who qualified for the national outdoor meet is the fourth-highest total in school history, and the 10 qualifying entries is tied for fourth in school history. Not a bad start for first-year Rebel head coach Connie Price-Smith.
“We had a good three days, and I’m excited for the athletes who qualified to the final round,” Price-Smith said. “We had a lot of good performances that just missed out as well. It has been a great season and I am proud of all of the athletes. Hats off to the 13 that made it to Eugene and their coaches.”
In order to advance through Jacksonville to the June 8-11 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, athletes or relays had to place top 12 out of 48 individuals (or 24 relays) in their events.
The Ole Miss men had seven athletes qualify for Nationals, while the women had six athletes. Below is a breakdown of qualifying athletes and their events.
