2022 NCAA Women's Outdoor Track & Field West Preliminary
Thursday & Saturday, May 25 & 27, 2022
Fayetteville, Ark.

RENO, Nev. - Four Nevada Women's Track & Field athletes will compete at the 2022 NCAA Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships West Preliminary beginning Thursday and concluding Saturday.

The West Preliminary will take place in Fayetteville, Ark., hosted by Arkansas. Qualifiers from this meet, along with the East Preliminary (Bloomington, Ind.) will compete at the national championships meet held June 8-11 in Eugene, Ore.

Junior Emily Costello will compete in first round heats of the 200 Meters and 400 Meters Thursday. Costello is scheduled to be in Lane 2 of the second first-round heat of the 400 meters, which begins at 5:25 p.m. PT. The first-round heats for the 200 Meters are scheduled to begin at 6:45 p.m. PT, with Costello set to run from Lane 3 in the third heat.

Nicola Ader, who has already qualified for the NCAA Championships in Heptathlon (top score of 5,836 ranking seventh in the nation), will compete in the West Preliminary Long Jump first round Thursday at 4 p.m. PT.

Rounding out Thursday's competition for the Pack will be Camrin Dolcini, set for action in the Pole Vault at 4:30 p.m. PT.

Iesha Hamm will compete in Saturday's High Jump first round at 12:30 p.m. PT.

Saturday's quarterfinals for the 400 and 200 Meters are set for 4:50 p.m. PT and 5:50 p.m. PT, respectively, should Costello make it out of one or both of Thursday's first rounds.

The quintet combined to earn eight medals at last weekend's Mountain West Outdoor Championships, and each athlete medaled in the West Preliminary event in which she qualified.

Costello's personal-best 23.30 in the 200 Meters final at the MW meet was not only good for silver, but ranks 19th among the field qualifying for the West Preliminary. Her school-record 400 Meters time of 52.95, which earned her bronze at last weekend's conference championships, ranks 21st in the West Preliminary field.

Ader took silver in Long Jump at the Mountain West meet. Her season-best mark of 6.23 meters qualified 27th among the West Preliminary field.

Hamm, the Mountain West silver medalist in High Jump, qualified for the West Preliminary meet with a top mark this season of 1.75 meters. Dolcini, who vaulted her personal-best 4.02 meters to earn bronze at the Mountain West Championships, earned her spot in Fayetteville with that mark.
