Rowan, ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division 3, is sending 24 athletes to compete to compete in 29 events at the men’s NCAA Division 3 Championships this week in La Crosse, Wisc.
Of those 24 athletes, 13 are from South Jersey. Four other South Jersey high school grads will be competing for other schools. We’ll get to that later.
Rowan, who won indoor nationals in Birmingham in March, hasn’t won an outdoor title since it won its 5thstraight in 1984.
The meet opens Thursday morning at Veterans Memorial Stadium in La Crosse, Wisc., and continues through Saturday.
The top 22 individuals and top 16 relay teams per event qualify for D-3 Nationals.
You’ll notice one prominent name missing. Haddonfield’s Seth Clevenger, who won the 3,000 and 5,000 at indoor Nationals, has been scratched because of injury from the 5,000 and 10,000, the two events he qualified for.
Clevenger set an NCAA Division 3 record in the 5,000 with a 13:32.09 in February in Boston and is No. 4 in Division 3 history in the indoor mile [3:59.41] and No. 3 in the 3,000 [7:54.87]. He was the No. 2 seed for the 10,000 [29:06.90] and No. 15 seed in the 5,000 [14:06.23]. He hasn’t raced since the Penn Relays.
Here’s a look at Rowan’s contingent heading to Wisconsin.
Rowan’s 25 athletes will compete in the 100, 200, 800, 5,000, 10,000, high hurdles, intermediate hurdles, 400-meter relay, 1,600-meter relay, high jump, long jump, triple jump and javelin.
Competition for thet team championship will come from the usual Wisconsin powerhouses, including top-ranked Wisconsin-La Crosse, No. 3 Wisconsin Oshkosh and No. 4 Wisconsin Eau Claire.
