INDIANAPOLIS – The Dickinson track and field program will be represented by a pair of individuals next week at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships as senior female athlete, Annie Leder and junior male athlete, Trevor Richwine will compete on behalf of the Red and White when the action opens up next Thursday at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

Leder, the native of Washington, D.C. earned her place in the meet by posting the 16th-best mark in the nation for the long jump during the Centennial Conference Championships when she dropped in at 5.87m to take home the gold medal. Leder is no stranger to the top spot on the podium grabbing a trio of first-place finishes during the outdoor season.

Richwine, the native of Newville, Pennsylvania, nabbed his spot with the second-fastest time for the 800m in the country by hitting the line in 1:48.31 at the Widener University Final Qualifier this past Monday. He will head into the race feeling like a national title is within his grasp as he sits just one-hundredth off the top time from Tor Hotung-Davidsen from the University of Lychburg at 1:48.30. Richwine like Leder has claimed three gold medals on the campaign and will hope to add one more to the collection at the end of next week.

This is the program’s fourth league title in the past five seasons at the CAA Outdoor Championships.
