HIGH POINT, N.C. – After late medical scratches at the NCAA East First Rounds, two members of the High Point University men’s track and field team were added to the selection lists, both qualifying for the first time in their careers. Drew Noblet will compete in the men’s javelin competition on Wednesday, May 28 at 2:20 p.m. and Graham Ferguson will run in the men’s 1500m later that day at 6:30 p.m. With the addition of Noblet and Ferguson, HPU’s qualification total increases to 18 student-athletes, making it the most athletes at an NCAA First Round in program history.

This past season, the graduate student from Waxhaw, North Carolina joined the Panthers for his final season. He placed in the top five at five different meets and finished out the season with a silver medal at the Big South Outdoor Championships. He threw a personal best 62.83m which landed him a spot at the NCAA East First Rounds. The top 12 athletes in the field will advance to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

In Ferguson’s last season as a Panther, he competed in the men’s 1500m and 800m events. Improving significantly in both throughout his career, he recorded a new personal best in the 1500m at the Duke Twilight on May 4, 2025 with a 3:41.35 time which was the time that helped him secure a spot at the NCAA East First Rounds. He most recently took home the Big South title in the 1500m for the second consecutive year. Following the first round on Wednesday, the top 24 athletes will advance to the quarterfinals on Friday, May 30 at 5:15 p.m. The top 12 athletes from the quarterfinals will move on to the NCAA Championships.

Noblet will be the first athlete to start competition at the NCAA East First Rounds.
