JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Indiana State sophomore hurdler Rachel Mehringer made her mark Saturday evening, as the program and conference 100m hurdles record holder qualified for the NCAA Outdoor National Championships.
 
Mehringer, who broke Indiana State and Missouri Valley Conference records in both the 60m hurdles (indoor) and 100m hurdles (outdoor) during the 2024-25 season, clocked a time of 13.08 to advance. She placed 10th in the field, advancing to the NCAA Outdoor National Championships for the first time in her career as the fastest time among athletes who didn't place in the top three of their heat.

Mehringer becomes the first athlete in program history to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor National Championships in the women's 100m hurdles and the third Indiana State women's hurdles athlete to reach the national championships, joining Erica Moore (400m hurdles - 2010 outdoor) and Stacia Weatherford (400m hurdles - 2012 outdoor). She is the 10th Sycamore athlete to reach the NCAA National Championships in a hurdles event joining Aubrey Herring, Chris Lancaster, Wil Lash, Moore, Marcus Neeley, Greggmar Swift, Max Tuttle, Adarius Washington and Weatherford.
