Rahni Turner made the national junior finals following her freshman season.
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Coming off of a stellar freshman season, Rahni Turner finished sixth in the country at the U20 USA Track and Field outdoor championships in the 100m hurdles on Friday.
Turner placed second in her initial heat at the U20 championships to advance into the evening's final, where she ran a 13.82 and finished sixth out of the 16 runners who qualified for the event, held in Eugene, Ore. She previously had been the first LBSU student-athlete to qualify for NCAA Regionals in the event since 2016, and holds the fourth-fastest time in school history in the event.
Long Beach State has another qualifier at the event, as Alex Kalmar will be running in the 800-meter run. With just eight competitors, that race is scheduled to start just after 4 p.m. on Saturday.
