Fellin will run in the 60-meter dash trials at 3:15 p.m. Friday. The 60-meter dash finals are set for 4:10 p.m. Saturday. He will be competing at nationals in the 60m for the second straight season, having earned All-America Second Team honors at last year's championships, placing 12th overall with a 6.72.

Szeplaki is making his first appearance at nationals in the pole vault. The freshman is ranked fifth in the field of 18 vaulters with a seed mark of 5.30m (17-4.5), achieved at the Alvernia Winter Invitational back in mid-January. He was also a PSAC champion in the pole vault, clearing a best mark of 5.20m (17-0.75) to win gold. The pole vault is slated to take place Friday at 3:20 p.m.

For each individual event contested, the top 18 declared student-athletes were accepted into the competition, the top 12 declared relay teams, one per institution, were accepted, and for the heptathlon and pentathlon the top 16 declared student-athletes were accepted into the competition.
