HOW THEY GOT HERE
In order to qualify for nationals, student-athletes must meet the NCAA provisional standard in their respective events and must declare to compete at the national meet. The NCAA then selects the top 18 individuals in each open event, the top 14 scores in the multi-events and the top 12 relay marks as official qualifiers for the championships.
 
ANNA IGIMS TO RUN 5K
Igims will be the lone representative from The Rock women's team and she will be the first SRU athlete to compete at nationals when she runs in the 5,000-meter finals Thursday at 6:15 p.m. Igims, who will make her indoor nationals debut, was accepted into the field as the No. 14 seed with her time of 16:36.79. She is looking to become an All-American for the third straight season after earning her first career All-America honor in the steeplechase at the 2024 outdoor national meet and following that up with an All-America finish at the cross country national meet last fall. Igims is the lone accepted entry in the 5K from the Atlantic Region.
 
WOMEN'S 5K FIELD BREAKDOWN
The top seed in the event is Colorado School of Mines senior Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge with a time of 15:40.98.

It will mark his first indoor national meet, but his second straight trip to nationals after also qualifying for the 2024 outdoor meet. He picked up his first career All-America honor with a 10th place finish at nationals last spring.
