Austin, Texas – Oregon State’s Morgan Anderson did not advance to the second round of the 1,500 meters on Thursday at the NCAA Division I 2015 Track & Field Championships West Preliminary meet in Austin.
A redshirt sophomore from Scotts Mills who graduated from Silverton High School, Anderson finished in 4:28.77 and took ninth place in her 12-woman heat and 28th overall.
Only the top five from each heat, and the next four best times, advanced to Saturday’s second round, when the field will be further trimmed from 24 to 12. She had the seventh-fastest time of the 27 finishers not in the top five of their heats.
