EUGENE, Ore. – Senior Nathan Green unlocked quite a rare achievement as he advanced to a fourth consecutive NCAA final at 1,500-meters, moving through his semifinal heat as the NCAA Outdoor Championships kicked off at Hayward Field. Green will try to extend UW’s winning streak in the event to four when he runs his final race as a Dawg on Friday.

 

Green earned a fourth-straight trip to the NCAA finals by successfully battling through a semifinal heat that went out slow for two laps before closing in a hurry, which put even more stress on finishing in the top-five and leaving nothing up to chance. The 2023 NCAA Champion was up in the front nearly the entire race, and he had the lead with about a thousand meters to go and held it nearly the rest of the way. He kept up the pace down the homestretch to make sure he stayed in the top group, and he came across the line in third overall in 3:52.19.

 
Senior Kyle Reinheimer came up just one spot shy of advancing to the men’s 800-meters final. He took third in his semi in 1:47.32, with only the top two guaranteed to move on. Reinheimer’s time would wind up 12th overall as he capped his stellar year with Second Team All-America honors both outdoors and indoors.
 
Another one year Husky grad student, Scott Toney, fell just a few spots shy of the podium. Toney had three clearances in the pole vault today, making 17-0, then 17-5 3/4, and 17-9 3/4 on a first attempt. But Toney couldn’t quite leave the bar standing at 18-1 3/4, going out after three attempts. He would finish 11th overall for Second Team All-America honors.
 
Thursday, the UW women’s team will get underway, with six Huskies slated to compete. The women’s 1,500-meters semis start at 4:21 p.m. with Chloe Foerster, Amina Maatoug, and Sophie O’Sullivan. Amanda and Hana Moll will look to cap their sophomore collegiate seasons on top in the pole vault at 4:35, and then Maggie Liebich runs the steeplechase semi at 4:38 p.m.
