SACRAMENTO Calif. — Oklahoma State track and field’s Sinclaire Johnson and McCook Bison alum Molly Sughroue booked their spots in the NCAA Championships on the final day of the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds.

Both Johnson and Sughroue advanced to the meet in Eugene, Oregon, within the same heat, a packed 1,500-meter quarterfinal that resulted in both Cowgirls earning PR’s.

Johnson’s time of 4:11.57 slots her in the top-10 in the NCAA this season, while also setting the No. 2 time in school history. With the massive 9-second PR, this will be the sophomore standout’s first opportunity to earn All-America status.

Sughroue looks to continue adding to an impressive career with the Cowgirls, as she’s hunting her third All-America honor after earning her second in the 2018 indoor mile. Her time of 4:14.32 also set a solid personal best for the Cowgirl middle-distance star.

Ariane Ballner and Jenny Celis also competed in the heated race, narrowly missing out on earning the trip to Eugene, finishing 15th and 19th, respectively.
