Donino Qualifies For 100 Meter Hurdles In Dramatic Fashion At NCAA Track & Field Championships

Men's Results

It certainly did not come easy, but Emory senior Brittany Donino qualified for the finals of the 100 meter hurdles on Friday as the Eagles wound up the second day of competition at the NCAA III Track and Field Championships.

Donino earned a spot in the finals after winning a run-off against Barb Kremer of Loras College.  In the prelims, both Donino and Kremer were clocked at 14.32 seconds with Kremer getting the nod to advance.  Following an Emory protest and a review of the photos of the finish, the results was inconclusive, forcing the run-off where Donino prevailed.  Her time of 14.32 in the prelims was the second-fastest time in school history, trailing only Kahlilah Jennings’ time of 14.23 seconds, set during the 1998 NCAA Championships.

In the 100-meter dash, senior Mary Crystal Spence recorded a time of 12.25 seconds, good for a seventh-place finish in her heat and 18th overall.

By virtue of qualifying for the finals, Donino earns All-America honors in the event.  The finals in the 100 meter hurdles are scheduled for 1:45 p.m. on Saturday.

The NCAA Championships in Cleveland, OH will conclude tomorrow, with Emory’s Alex Greenhouse running in the finals of the 400-meter hurdles at 3:25 PM, and Lauren Attiah competing in the triple jump at 2:30 PM.
