WAVERLY, Iowa — Colby College's Emily Doyle '16 (Duxbury, Mass.) broke her own school record for the third time this year and qualified for the championship final in the 400-meter dash at the NCAA Women's Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Friday at Wartburg College.
Doyle will run in the 400 final Saturday at 3:20 p.m. (EST). Colby teammate Alanna McDonough (Andover, Mass.) is in the 3,000 steeplechase final at 1:45 p.m. The races can be viewed at

In other events, Jenna Athanasopoulos '17 (Fitzwilliam, N.H.) placed 15th in the heptathlon for the Mules and Kim Donaldson '16 (Colorado Springs, Colo.) was 18th in the shot put.
Doyle, a four-time All-American in relay races, will earn her first individual All-American honor by placing in the top-eight of the final. She had the sixth-best time of the day with her 55.30. Her previous school record was 55.51 when Doyle won the New England Division III Championship title.
Doyle ran a terrific race after starting outside in lane eight of heat two. She stayed strong in the final 100 meters and took second in the heat to Chelsea Gilles (55.10) of Greenville. University of Massachusetts at Boston's Hulerie McGuffie, who ran in heat three, had the top time of the prelims with a 54.55. McGuffie won the 200 dash at the New England Division III meet, but did not compete in the 400.
Athanasopoulos started the day in ninth place heading into the final three events of the heptathlon. She had a leap of 15-11 in the long jump, a throw of 88-05 in the javelin, and clocked a 2:33.0 in the 800 meters.
Donaldson had her best toss of 41-7.75 on her second of three throws Friday. She had thrown 45-0.5 at the Point Loma Invitational in San Diego and won the competition at the New England Small College Athletic Conference meet with a toss of 44-4. The Point Loma throw would have placed her eighth and the NESCAC toss would have had her ninth Friday.
