(Lexington, Ky.) – A former South Dearborn High School track & field star has qualified for the NCAA Outdoor National Championships.

Grace Quinlan, a senior at Indiana State University, finished 10th in the high jump at the NCAA East First Round. The top 12 advance to the national championships.

Not only did Quinlan punch her ticket to the national championships, but she broke Indiana State’s school record in the high jump by clearing 5-11.25.
