JONESBORO, Ark. (7/5/17) – Roelf Pienaar of the Arkansas State track and field team has been granted a sixth year of eligibility as the NCAA approved a waiver submitted by the university.
Pienaar suffered a season-ending injury back on January 14 at the Kentucky Track & Field Invitational during the indoor season. Pienaar missed the remainder of the indoor season in addition to the outdoor season, and A-State sought the sixth-year waiver for the 2017-18 athletic season.
“We are excited that the NCAA has granted Roelf his final year of eligibility,” A-State head coach Jim Patchell said.
