The NC State men's team will send junior Tyrone Dozier, junior Chris Dugan, and senior Brendan Rodgers. Dozier, from Raleigh, N.C., will be running in the 400 meters. Just last weekend, Dozier set a new NC State school record with a time of 45.74 in the 400 meters, and he is currently ranked 15th in the country in that event. Dugan will be running the 3,000 meter steeplechase, an event in which he currently ranks 12th. The final Pack member will be Rodgers running in the 1,500 meters, an event that Rodgers has notched back-to-back NCAA qualifying times in the past two meets.
Two distance runners qualified for the NC State women's squad. Senior Lindsey Roger will run in the 10,000 meters, an event she won at the Outdoor ACC Championships earlier this year also held at Duke. Rogers is ranked 13th in the country in the 10,000 meters. Junior Katie Sabino will be running in the 3,000 meters, an event she posted two NCAA provisional marks this season.
Rogers will be running in the finals of the 10,000 meters Wednesday night, and Dugan will be running the semifinals of the 3,000 meter steeplechase Wednesday night as well. The rest of Pack's participants will be in semifinal action Thursday.
