SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The DePaul track and field programs concluded their outdoor season on day three of the NCAA Track and Field Championships hosted by Sacramento State. Seniors Jade Nolan and Alexia Brooks place in the triple jump and 100-meter hurdles, respectively.

Leading off the final day of competition for the Blue Demons, Nolan concluded her capstone year with an 11.75-meter finish in the triple jump to place 44th on the NCAA West list.

Brooks, who set the school record in the 100-meter hurdles yesterday, ended her last year in a Blue Demon in the quarterfinals of the event. Her 13.46-second time placed her in the 20th spot on the event's leader board. The Evanston native edged out Incarnate Word's Jerica Love who clocked a time of 13.68 seconds.
