INDIANAPOLIS — The qualifiers for the 2024 NCAA Division II Outdoor National Championships were announced on Tuesday, and Parkside's Rachel Blaskowski was announced as a national qualifier in the long jump.

"Another amazing opportunity for Rachel at the NCAA Championships," said Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Nick Maas. "She got a nice taste of an all American award indoors and that continues to be the goal going into the outdoor Championships. The more often she see that level of competition, the more she learns. I look forward to seeing what we can do out in Kansas!"

This is Rachel's fourth trip to the NCAA Championships. Most recently she came home with All-American honors at the Indoor Championships in March.

Blaskowski returns to the National Championships with a mark of 6.09m. She will be seeded 18th heading into the Championships. 

Rachel is set to compete for a national title on Thursday May 23rd at 5:30pm at Francis G. Welch Stadium on the campus of Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas. A link to live results and video will be made available at ParksideRangers.com/coverage.
