UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond women's track star Amanda Corbosiero has qualified for the 1500M NCAA Championships East Prelim to be held next weekend (May 26-28) in Jacksonville, Fla.
Amanda posted a personal-best time of 4:22.20 at the Mt. SAC Relays in April to qualify. That time was an improvement over the time she posted two weeks prior at the Colonial Relays where she ran a 4:22.47. Her efforts at the Mt. SAC Relays earned the New Jersey native an Atlantic 10 Performer of the Week recognition.
She also won the 800M at the Tribe Invitational with a time of 2:11.88, won the 1500M at the Fred Hardy Invitational by cruising to a 4:27.16 mark and placed second at the A-10 Championships in both the 1500M and 4x800M Relay. This past weekend the sophomore posted a 4:29.91 in the 1500M at the Aggie Last Chance meet. Finally she guided her team to a seventh place finish at the prestigious Penn Relays in the 4x1500M Championship of America.
If she is able to advance, Amanda will travel to Eugene, Ore. for the 2016 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships during the weekend of June 8-11.
