D'Agostino and Giordano Earn Spots at NCAA Championship in 5000M

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Senior Abbey D'Agostino is heading to her fourth career NCAA Outdoor Championship meet two weeks from now. And for the first time since 2012, she will have some company while there.
D'Agostino advances to Oregon in the 5000m after running a 15:57.37 to win her heat and claim second overall in a field of 48 on Saturday night at the NCAA East Regional at North Florida's Hodges Stadium. Already the two-time defending national champion in the event, she will have some company in Eugene as sophomore Dana Giordano also earned a spot in the national final by taking eighth in 16:05.04.
The two ran in the second heat with D'Agostino winning and Giordano taking fourth. The top five finishers in each section automatically earned spots at nationals, while the two at-large berths were awarded to those with the next best two times in either race.
Senior Megan Krumpoch, who punched her ticket Friday night in the 800m, will join both in the Pacific Northwest.
Now D'Agostino and Giordano can focus their attention on the national finals of the 5000m at Oregon's Historic Hayward Field in Eugene on Saturday, June 14. The race is set to begin at 6:24 p.m. ET.
There in Oregon, D'Agostino will seek her eighth career individual national championship, a figure that would be twice as many as any other Ivy League student-athlete ever and rank third all-time by an NCAA woman across all three seasons of competition.
Krumpoch will be the first to hit the track in two weeks, running in the semifinals of the 800m that set to get underway on Wednesday, June 11 at 7:45 p.m. ET.
Also competing in Jacksonville on Saturday night was senior Emmaline Berg in the shot put. Berg finished 41st overall with her best toss measuring 46-3.25/14.10m, ending her outstanding Dartmouth career.
