FULL SCHEDULE

WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The Otterbein Track and Field program will be sending five national qualifiers up to SPIRE Institute later this week for the NCAA Division III Championships, slated for Thursday to Saturday in Geneva.

All five Cardinals will be making a return trip to the outdoor meet, which accepts the top 20 male and top 22 female times/marks in each event along with the top 14 relays in the nation. The top-eight finishers in each event earn All-American status.

Returning All-Americans Mike Rennette (110 hurdles) and Cal Yackin (1500 meters) are looking to hit the podium again while Cwinn Febus (110 hurdles), Gracie Dennison (100 hurdles) and Emma Klosterman (high jump) are looking to break through for medals.

Rennette took fourth in the 110's last year and now enters the meet seeded 14th of 20, having run the same exact time (14.40) at the recent Harrison Dillard Twilight that he did at NCAA's in Greensboro last year.

Rennette, injured for a good chunk of the season, also took ninth last year in the 400 hurdles and just narrowly missed qualifying (by less than a half-second) this time around.

Febus, an indoor All-American in the 60 hurdles, enters the weekend ranked ninth of 20 entrants after posting 14.31 at Baldwin Wallace a couple weeks back. The sixth-year journeyman exercised another semester of eligibility for this spring and has been on a path to redemption…

The Medina native, who will be competing just over an hour from his hometown, was seeded eighth at last year's national meet before enduring a false start/disqualification in the prelims. He and Rennette are scheduled to lace up (in prelims) Friday around 2 p.m. and will strive to make it to Saturday's final.

Yackin took sixth last year after a wild sequence of events, where multiple appeals and protests followed a race that saw him get bumped into the infield. Nevertheless, he broke Otterbein's 40-year old school record by running in the 3:48 range and has since posted 3:47.31 at St. Francis in Illinois.

Yackin's preliminary race is scheduled for Thursday at 5:50 p.m. Should he advance, the finals would take place Saturday afternoon around 12:30 p.m.

Dennison is back after a star-studded senior year, recently breaking a pair of school records on the straightaway that includes her 100-hurdle mark. She ran a (wind-aided) 14.22 at Baldwin Wallace and then followed with 14.35 less than week ago…

After taking 13th at NCAA's last year, Dennison will enter this meet seeded 14th of 22 individuals in the event. Prelims are Friday afternoon (2:30) and the championship race would be Saturday around 1 p.m.

Klosterman is back for the second time in as many years after just barely missing an All-American spot last year in North Carolina. She took cleared 1.64 meters and ultimately settled for ninth after a fellow competitor (who previously passed on a height) came back in to clear 1.67.

This time around, Klosterman will be seeded eighth of 22 after soaring to a new school record 1.70 meters (5-7) at BW earlier this month. Her competition is set for Friday morning at 11:30 a.m.
