Jordahl Qualifies For NCAA
National Cross Country Meet

Nov. 16, 2008

Becca Jordahl will run in Saturday's NCAA National Cross Country Meet which will be held at Hanover, Ind., College.

Jordahl is an individual qualifier. She placed second in last weekend's NCAA Midwest Regional and earned All-Region honors for her efforts. Jordahl finished the 6,000-meter course at the Saukie Golf Course in Rock Island, Ill., in 21:32. She finished just 3.8 seconds behind the winner, Ayla Mitchell, of UW-Oshkosh.

Jordahl, who placed fourth in last year's NCAA Meet and earned All-American, has a best time of 20:59 this year. She ran that at the Oshkosh Invitational on Oct. 18. That time is the school record.

Jordahl ran in the Pre-NCAA Meet in Hanover on Oct. 4 and finished that race in 21:27.99 and placed second. Jordahl won the WIAC individual championship on Nov. 1 when she ran a 21:00.59.

Jordahl earned NCAA track & field All-American honors in three events last year. In the National indoor championships she placed second in the 5,000-meter race. In the National outdoor meet she won the 5,000 and placed third in the 10,000. She helped the Falcon women's team win the NCAA National outdoor team championship.

The Eau Claire, La Crosse and Oshkosh teams will compete in the meet while Platteville's Jessica Scott and Stevens Point's Kelly Haen will join Jordahl as individual qualifiers.
